Principle of Hartmann-Shack-Method
• A micro-lenses array
spatially resolves wavefront
distortion
• From the shift of the focal
spots the wavefront can be
reconstructed

Conclusion
• Wavefront driven micromirror array can
significantly reduce wavefront aberrations
• Static correction can correct more than 50% of higher
order aberrations
• Visual acuity of patients can be improved by this
adaptive microchip mirror
• The improvement in Visual Performance will mostly
effect contrast sensitivity. Most subjects with a 5.5mm or
larger pupil and a RMS higher than 0.3µm had a gain of
one line in VA

Summary
•Wavefront-guided MEMS-multi-micromirror- sys-
tems can essentially compensate for higher order
optical aberrations of the human eye
•Wavefront-guided excimer-laser refractive surgery
allows for improved visual acuity in comparison to
sphero-cylindrical corrections
•Adaptive-optical closed loop systems considerably
improve the resolution of retinal imaging
•Intrastromal refractive surgery with femtosecond
lasers allows for minimal-invasive corrections of
higher order optical aberrations
