Polinomios de Zernike y su aplicación en Oftalmología

Abstract

Any device used for vision needs to be well calibrated, either lenses or the most complex telescope. This requires a good focus of the lenses of the device in question, this will allow us to have an optimal view in the case of lenses or of seeing beyond as the case of a telescope. From 2000, the Zernike polynomials are adopted as the standard in ophthalmological optics. These polynomials are used today in aberrometers, which are devices that measure the aberration of the ocular wavefront or, in other words, are responsible for detecting vision problems we have
