Effect of pupil size on dark focus accommodation. 1988

A potential concern in some studies of dark focus accommodation is the role of pupil size (and related spherical aberration) in laser optometer measurements. Dark focus measurements were obtained for 25 young adult subjects while they viewed the laser speckle pattern through artificial pupils of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 mm diameter. Analysis showed no significant effect of pupil size on dark focus. It would appear that pupil size variations should not be a source of concern in laser optometer dark focus assessment.

D000065 Accommodation, Ocular The dioptric adjustment of the EYE (to attain maximal sharpness of retinal imagery for an object of regard) referring to the ability, to the mechanism, or to the process. Ocular accommodation is the effecting of refractive changes by changes in the shape of the CRYSTALLINE LENS. Loosely, it refers to ocular adjustments for VISION, OCULAR at various distances.
