Characterizing depth-dependent refractive index of articular cartilage subjected to mechanical wear or enzymic degeneration.

abstract：:Higher-order optical errors of the human eye are often responsible for reduced visual acuity in spite of an optimal spherical or cylindrical refraction. These optical aberrations are of natural origin or can result from operations in the eye that involve optical structures. The ocular aberrometer presented is based on...
