Abstract:
In this work, we analyze the human eye corneal aberrations based on the data obtained in the Branchevski’s eye clinic. The analysis is performed on the basis of representation of aberrations as a superposition of Zernike functions. As the result of the analysis, we selected the Zernike basis functions which are the most characteristic for some pathologies of the eye.

Keywords:
corneal aberration, Zernike function, point spread function, myopia of the human eye.
