Aberrometer

An aberrometer is a specialized optical device used by eye care professionals to measure irregularities in the eye's surface and internal optics that can cause vision problems. Unlike standard eye charts, it assesses how light waves travel through the cornea and eye, detecting imperfections or distortions (aberrations) that affect clarity. This information helps in prescribing precise corrective lenses or planning treatments like laser surgery. Essentially, an aberrometer provides a detailed map of the eye's optical quality, enabling tailored solutions for optimal vision correction.
