CHANGES IN ABERRATIONS AND THEIR IMPACT ON VISION AFTER LASIK
Keywords:
LASIK, higher-order aberrations, visual quality, spherical aberrationAbstract
In recent years, patient expectations regarding the outcomes of refractive surgery have significantly increased. Achieving high visual acuity alone is no longer sufficient; subjective visual quality under various lighting conditions is becoming increasingly important. One of the key factors influencing visual perception after laser vision correction is optical aberrations, particularly higher-order aberrations.. The aim of the study is to investigate the changes in aberrations occurring after laser vision correction (LASIK) and to evaluate their impact on visual quality
