The rationale for this handbook is to make adaptive optics technology for vision science and ophthalmology as broadly accessible as possible. While the scientific literature chronicles the dramatic recent achievements enabled by adaptive optics in vision correction and retinal imaging, it does less well at conveying the practical information required to apply wavefront technology to the eye. This handbook is intended to equip engineers, scientists, and clinicians with the basic concepts, engineering tools, and tricks of the trade required to master adaptive optics-related applications in vision science and ophthalmology.

During the past decade, there has been a remarkable expansion of the application of wavefront-related technologies to the human eye, as illustrated by the rapidly growing number of publications in this area (shown in Fig. F.1).
