Le Grand eye for the study of ocular chromatic aberration

Ophthalmic Physiol Opt. 1996 Nov;16(6):528-31.

Abstract

In this technical note we study the prediction of ocular chromatic aberration which provides Le Grand's complete theoretical eye model. Theoretical computations of the longitudinal chromatic aberration are lower than experimental results. However, we show that experimental results of the chromatic difference of position (CDP) agree with theoretical predictions. The fit of the CDP for this model is practically the same as the one obtained for the Thibos reduced eye.
