  2. 1. Peripheral Vision : Adaptive Optics and Psychophysics

    Author : Robert Rosén; Peter Unsbo; Larry Thibos; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis is about our peripheral vision. Peripheral vision is poor compared to central vision, due to both neural and optical factors. The optical factors include astigmatism, defocus and higher order aberrations consisting mainly of coma. Neurally, the density of ganglion cells decreases towards the periphery, which limits the sampling density. READ MORE

  4. 2. Myopia control and peripheral vision

    Author : Petros Papadogiannis; Linda Lundström; Peter Unsbo; Nicola Logan; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; myopia; peripheral vision; psychophysics;

    Abstract : The rapid rise in myopia prevalence has caused an urgent need for effectivemyopia control interventions. This thesis investigates the role of theperipheral optics of the human eye in myopia progression. It was initiallybelieved that the axial elongation of the myopic eye is caused only by thedefocus signals presented to the central retina. READ MORE

  5. 3. Wavefront Aberrations and Peripheral Vision

    Author : Linda Lundström; Peter Unsbo; Austin Roorda; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optics; Human eye; Aberrations; Peripheral vision; Central visual field loss; Optics; Optik;

    Abstract : Failing eyesight causes a dramatic change in life. The aim of this project is to help people with large central visual field loss to better utilize their remaining vision. Central visual field loss means that the person has to rely on peripheral vision since the direct vision is lost, often due to a dysfunctional macula. READ MORE

  6. 4. Optimal Use of Peripheral Vision

    Author : Karthikeyan Baskaran; Jörgen Gustafsson; Peter Unsbo; Staffan Carius; Michael Crossland; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; off-axis refractive errors; peripheral aberrations; aberrometers; central visual field loss; preferred retinal locus; eccentric viewing; absolute central scotoma; adaptive optics; eccentric correction.; Optometry; Optometri;

    Abstract : People who lose their central vision have to rely on their peripheral vision for all visual tasks. The ability to resolve fine details in the periphery is reduced due to retinal limitations and the optical aberrations arising from the use of off-axis vision. READ MORE
