PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes in the optical quality of corneas of hyperopic patients operated using central multifocal presbyLASIK treatment through the study of light patterns around the retinal plane.
METHODS: This study included eight hyperopic eyes that underwent central…

A new aqueous photopolymer containing the monomers acrylamide, N,N'-methylenbisacrylamide and zinc acrylate, the initiators 4,5-diiodosuccinylfluorescein (2ISF) and methylene blue (MB), and the coinitiator sodium p-toluenesulphinate is described. This formulation exhibits a clear enhancement of the high-energy sensitivity upon irradiation with…

The visual and optical anisotropies of metallic and pearlescent samples have been evaluated using a multi-gonio-spectrophotometer and by adapting a gonio-template over the instrument aperture for measuring the relative spectral reflectance factor when the sample is rotated around an axis…

In this communication, we report a new method to determine the wavefront
aberration function of personalized eyes. We obtain corneal surface data and
axial lengths for different eyes. With these data, we construct a diffractive model
of a human eye,…

PURPOSE: To compare the visual results of presbyLASIK patients to the best theoretical pseudoaccommodation that could be achieved using a multifocal refractive intraocular lens (IOL) model based on the optical
structure of a simulated AMO Array multifocal IOL.
METHODS: The…

We examine the evolution of the refractive index modulation when recording gratings in an acrylamide based photopolymer. A nonlocal diffusion model is used to predict theoretically the grating evolution. The model has been developed to account for both nonlocal spatial…

The authors have developed a simple method to compare the colour gamuts of
different industries (printing, textiles, plastics, etc.) based on representing the reproduced
colours in constant lightness L* and hue hab* planes. This method allows the analysis of those

Numerical calculation of Fresnel patterns through fast Fourier transforms usually requires an extremely large number of samples in order to fulfil the Nyquist sampling condition. In many applications, the cut-off frequency of the system is much below the limit fixed…

In this work we study the effect of the glass substrate on the efficiencies of the different orders that propagate inside a transmission sinusoidal diffraction grating. Holographic optical elements are usually recorded on a photosensitive medium deposited on to a…

In recent years, holographic optical elements have been introduced in different applications such as high-density data storage, interconnections, spatial and temporal filters and three-dimensional displays. Simultaneously, more sensitive, efficient and durable holographic materials have been developed. Thus it is necessary…
