Calculations

• WA, Polychromatic PSF as a function of pupil diameter

• 83% circle diameter

• MAR (as circle’s radius) as a function of pupil.

• Depth of Focus at this pupil size

Polychromatic critical pupil (left/right eye)

• Critical pupil is mostly governed by refractive errors• At the absence of refractive errors MAR vs pupil curve is not very steep near critical pupil. • Considering LCA results to a larger depth of focus associated to the increased PSF dimensions.• LCA is an aberration contributing significantly to the dimensions of the PSF in a common manner among individuals and therefore reducing the inter subject variability of parameters such as the critical pupil.
