An eye usually has several different higher-order aberrations interacting together. Therefore, a correlation between a particular higher-order aberration and a specific symptom cannot easily be drawn. Nevertheless, higher-order aberrations are generally associated with double vision, blurriness, ghosts, halos, starbursts, loss of contrast and poor night vision.

Chromatic aberration

Higher-order aberrations are identified by the types of distortions acquired by a wavefront of light as it passes through your eye.

Lower-order aberrations consist primarily of nearsightedness and farsightedness (defocus), as well as astigmatism. They make up about 85 percent of all aberrations in an eye.

Abnormal meaning

Abnormal curvature of the cornea and crystalline lens may contribute to the distortion acquired by a wavefront of light. Serious higher-order aberrations also can occur from scarring of the cornea from eye surgery, trauma or disease.

Acumen meaning

People with larger pupil sizes generally may have more problems with vision symptoms caused by higher-order aberrations, particularly in low lighting conditions when the pupil opens even wider.

This chart reveals more common shapes of aberrations created when a wavefront of light passes through eyes with imperfect vision. A theoretically perfect eye (top) is represented by an aberration-free flat plane known, for reference, as piston.

The impact of higher-order aberrations on vision quality depends on various factors, including the underlying cause of the aberration.

CLA-2-90:OT:RR:NC:4:414 Mr. Ray ReynoldsLee Hardeman Customs Broker, Inc.277 Southfield PkwySuite 135Forest Park, GA 30297 RE: The tariff classification of line scan cameras from GermanyDear Mr. Reynolds:In your letter dated July 22, 2009, on behalf of The M.K. Morse Company, you requested a tariff classification ruling.The line scan camera, Industrial Camera CC13000, is also known as the Schuler electronic setting camera. The camera uses a standard Canon auto-focus 50mm macro lens as a separate optical lens to function. The function of the line scan camera is to scan a moving band saw blade to determine its position. This camera is part of a measuring system. The system consists of the camera itself, a stand, and a computer. The stand has the mount for the camera, fixturing to hold the band saw material, and the light source. The camera will be imported by itself. The camera captures a single line of pixels and sends the information to an attached computer for analysis. The position of the band saw blade is ultimately determined by feeding the scanned data to the computer. The computer has a predetermined positioning for the blade configuration being worked. The computer analyzes the information to detect the position of the object in focus. By finding the position of the object in focus, measurement can be made to determine if the object is within manufacturing tolerances. The camera measures the amount “set” on each tooth as the blade is passing underneath. The saw blade is positioned on the edge with the teeth up and the camera is mounted directly above. A light source is positioned underneath. The camera measures the shadow created by the band saw blade and its “set” teeth to determine that the material is meeting the manufacturer’s specifications. You have proposed classification under subheading 9031.41.9000, HTSUS. Subheading 9031.41.9000, HTSUS, does not exist in the 2009 Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The applicable subheading for the line scan camera, Industrial Camera CC13000, will be 9031.90.5800, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other measuring or checking instruments, appliances and machines, other optical instruments and appliances, parts and accessories, other. The rate of duty will be 3.5 percent ad valorem. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.

aberration翻译

Higher-order aberrations comprise many varieties of aberrations. Some of them have names such as coma, trefoil and spherical aberration, but many more of them are identified only by mathematical expressions (Zernike polynomials). They make up about 15 percent of the total number of aberrations in an eye.

Order refers to the complexity of the shape of the wavefront emerging through the pupil — the more complex the shape, the higher the order of aberration.

At present, various forms of adaptive optics have been or are being developed to custom correct higher-order aberrations. These include new kinds of spectacles, contact lenses, intraocular lenses and refractive surgery, which modifies the shape of the eye's surface or cornea.

Quite a bit of attention is being focused on higher-order aberrations these days because they finally can be diagnosed by wavefront technology (aberrometry) and because they recently have been identified as sometimes serious side effects of refractive surgery.

aberration中文

Higher-order aberrations (HOAs) are more subtle and complex refractive errors than nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Because of their complex nature, these aberrations cannot be corrected with regular eyeglasses and most contact lenses.

Higher-order aberrations have relatively unfamiliar names — such as coma, spherical aberration and trefoil. These aberrations can cause difficulty seeing at night, glare, halos, blurring, starburst patterns or double vision (diplopia).

Abbreviation

[For more information about vision correction for higher-order aberrations, read about high-definition eyeglass lenses and wavefront or custom LASIK.]

However, adaptive optics may be unable to pinpoint specific physical imperfections of refractive components of the eye that cause these distortions in the first place.

Anomaly meaning

A higher-order aberration is a distortion acquired by a wavefront of light when it passes through an eye with irregularities of its refractive components (tear film, cornea, aqueous humor, crystalline lens and vitreous humor).

Cataracts clouding the eye's natural lens also can cause higher-order aberrations. Aberrations also may result when dry eye diminishes your eye's tear film, which helps bend or refract light rays to achieve focus.

No eye is perfect, which means that all eyes have at least some degree of higher-order aberrations. If you are diagnosed with higher-order aberrations, you need not be concerned unless they are significant enough to cause vision symptoms.

Aberration

The aim of adaptive optics is to achieve the type of vision correction that can make flatter the shape of the wavefront emerging in the plane of the pupil by offsetting its distortion.

But even people with small or moderate pupils can have significant vision problems when higher-order aberrations are caused by conditions such as scarring of the eye's surface (cornea) or cataracts that cloud the eye's natural lens. Also, specific types and orientation of higher-order aberrations have been found in some studies to affect vision quality of eyes with smaller pupils.

If your eye doctor has the special equipment required to detect HOAs [see Wavefront Technology In Eye Exams] and says you have a significant amount of these aberrations, you may wonder exactly what this means and what impact — if any — it has on the quality of your vision.

Because no eye is optically perfect, a uniform wavefront of light rays passing through an eye acquires certain three-dimensional, distorted shapes. So far, more than 60 different wavefront shapes, or aberrations, have been identified.
