Abstract

The electromagnetic adaptive optics visual simulator effectively corrected and generated wavefront aberrations up to the 4th order. Custom wavefront correction significantly improved visual acuity compared to best-spectacle correction. Symmetric aberrations (eg, defocus and spherical aberration) were more detrimental to visual performance.
