Abstract: | Two kinds of individual eye models, with and without involving the angle between visual axis and optical axis, are constructed according to the measurements of the corneal surfaces, the optical axis lengths and wavefront aberrations. The constructed eye models are then used to investigate the properties of the transverse chromatic aberration (TCA) and its influence on visual performance. The statistical distributions of the horizontal TCA, vertical TCA and the absolute magnitude of the TCA over the spectrum from 470 to 650 nm are provided, respectively. The variations of TCA with wavelength as referring to the central wavelength of 555 nm for five subjects are also provided. Then we evaluate the impact of TCA on image performance in comparison with longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA). It is shown that LCA is more detrimental than foveal TCA in image quality. It is found that, while LCA was corrected well, the foveal TCA is simultaneously corrected. Finally, we investigate the correction of peripheral TCA with an achromatizing element. The correction of peripheral TCA of human eye strongly depends on the location of the achromatizing element, and with the element in front of the eye, the peripheral TCA cannot be corrected. |
