Abstract:
In this work, we use the Zemax software package to study wave front aberrations resulting from modifications of the human eye cornea curvature. The simulation is based on the Liou-Brenann human eye model. The surface curvature and wave front aberrations are described by a Zernike polynomial. We show that defocusing and astigmatism aberrations can be corrected for by means of modification of the cornea curvature using polynomials.

Keywords:
optical model of the human eye, Liou-Brenann eye model, eye aberration, Zernike polynomials.
