Abstract: A method for determining wave-front aberration data of a to-be-tested optical system comprising the steps of: a) providing a wave-front sensing image of light received from the tested optical system; b) providing a model representative of the optical system with at least an optical parameter representative of said model; and c) optimizing a set of wave-front coefficient data and said at least optical parameter of said model according to a merit function calculating the merit function comprises the steps of generating a wave-front sensing modeled image of light received from said model by the at least optical parameter and the set of wave-front coefficient data, and calculating a criteria based on shape parameter data of the wave-front sensing image and shape parameter data of the wave-front sensing modeled image, so as to obtain wave-front aberration data of the tested optical system.

Abstract: An method and system for determining the appropriate refractive prescription in a clinical optometry or ophthalmology setting. Data in the form of aberrometric input, patient history and other information, and/or other environmental data is used to optimize a real-world prescription for an individual's optic needs through the use of a equivalent quadratic fitting calculation or a simulated through focus experiment.
