Many optical systems require the correction of the cumulative wavefront error of the system for performance optimization. In ophthalmology the wavefront error of the eye corresponds to the visual defect and can be measured up to high-order aberrations today. Lower orders of the wavefront error are usually corrected with spectacles, contact lenses or refractive surgery. In this paper we apply an optimization method called particle swarm optimization to calculate the optimal correction for visual defects based on measured high-order wavefront results. It is shown that an optimized conventional correction and in particular an extended wavefront correction including higher orders yields a better result for the visual Strehl ratio, as compared to a simple conjugate correction scheme.

粒子群优化用于眼科应用中的波前校正

许多光学系统需要校正系统的累积波前误差以优化性能。在眼科学中，眼睛的波前误差与视觉缺陷相对应，可以测量到当今的高阶像差。通常用眼镜，隐形眼镜或屈光手术矫正较低阶的波前误差。在本文中，我们应用一种称为粒子群优化的优化方法，根据测得的高阶波前结果计算视觉缺陷的最佳校正。结果表明，与简单的共轭校正方案相比，经过优化的常规校正，尤其是包括较高阶次的扩展波前校正，对于视觉斯特列尔比产生了更好的结果。
