Peripheral aberrations of the human eye [ 2008-01-01 - 2008-12-31 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Professor David Atchison (Chief Investigator) ,  Prof William Charman (Linkage International Fellow - Overseas)

Brief description Peripheral aberrations of the human eye. This project will benefit Australia from several perspectives. It will make an important contribution to understanding limitations to peripheral vision of the eye, particularly as a result of refractive surgical intervention. This is important because many Australians will require such surgery. Being able to better measure and correct peripheral aberrations will lead to improved imaging of the eye and thus contribute to improved detection and diagnosis of ophthalmic disease. The study will benefit ophthalmologists, optometrists, and engineers involved in designing visual instruments. This project will provide training in adaptive optics for graduate students not available in any other Australian institution.

Funding Amount $16,508
