Why Aberroscopy?
Current Laser Technology Permits One to
Go Beyond Correction of Sphere and
Astigmatism
You Can Now Address Your Patient’s Quality
of Vision
High Order Aberrations Define
Quality of Vision
Why Ray Tracing?
Because… the Eye is NOT a Telescope!
Pupil Size: Effects Refraction (ex. Night Myopia)
Refraction is NOT a FIXED Number!
Accommodation: Effects Refraction (Instrument Myopia)
Tear Film: Effects Quality of Vision (Aberrations)
Where are the Sources of
Aberrations?
How do they change with Surgery?
Cornea: Astigmatism (Irreg.), Sph & other HOA
Lens: Astigmatism, Coma & other HOA

Technologies
• Hartmann-Shack Lenslet Array
• Tscherning Aberrometer
• Differential Skiascopy
• Ray Tracing
Features:
-Rapid, point by point, IR measurement no data confusion
-Pupillometry with auto-tracking/capture
-Programmable sampling (256 pts.) in any
pupil up to 8mm
-Open Field Fixation – avoid instrument
myopia and measure Accommodation
-Corneal Topography integration –
able to measure Lens Aberrations

Tscherning
Disadvantages of H-S and
Tscherning
• Measures All Points at Once Data Confusion, Compromised Resolution
• Limited Dynamic Range –
Cannot Measure Highly Irregular Eyes
• Highly Sensitive to Noise –
Slow, Requires Multiple Scans
• Expensive Components –
High Cost to Purchase and Repair
• H-S Measures Reverse Aberrations –
Not Physiologic with Real Vision especially
for High Orders in Accomodation
• Tscherning Needs 2-D Imaging of Retina Additional noise and errors
Differential Skiascopy
Disadvantages of Differential
Skiascopy
• Does NOT Measure Skew Aberrations –
Inaccurate WaveFront especially for Trefoil,
Quadrafoil, etc.
• Measures Multiple Points at Once (slit)
and only in Perpendicular Direction Limited WF measurement (axial bias)
• No Open Field Fixation –

*Measuring Corneal Aberration without Lens
or Total Aberration is of Questionable Value
The iTrace
Principles of Tracey
• Programmable thin beam ray tracing
measuring forward aberrations of the eye
• Rapid sequential measurement of data
points over entire entrance pupil (<50ms)
• Localization of each reflected retinal spot
• Integration of individual retinal spots to
form Point Spread Function (PSF)
• Analysis of PSF for higher order
aberrations and other data formats

Tracey’s Key Advantage:
Rapid, point-by-point analysis of
256 data points avoids data confusion
associated with simultaneous data
measurements, therefore, all eyes
(highly irregular) can be measured. All
points in any pupil size (2-8mm) each
with full dynamic range (+/- 15 D).
NO COMPROMISES!

Three independent studies of
Tracey vs. Manifest Refraction
• Koch et al - 100 eyes
• Slade et al - 42 eyes
• Schalhorn et al - 106 eyes
