Abstract
A Shack-Hartmann aberrometer was used to assess the optical performances of eyes corrected with rigid or soft contact lenses compared to spectacles. Metrics of optical quality derived from the measured wave aberrations were consistent with the subjective rating by subjects of visual clarity. Further aberration analysis illustrated the differences in aberration structures of eyes wearing different optical corrections. These observations can be explained by theoretical calculations of the aberrations of the eye + lens optical system. We conclude that aberrometry provides a better understanding of the optical effects of contact lenses in situ and could be useful for optimizing future designs of contact lens.
