Single-pass measurements of the wave-front aberrations of the human eye by use of retinal lipofuscin autofluorescence

We describe a technique for making single-pass measurements of the wave-front aberration of the eye. The technique utilizes the natural fluorescence of the retina that is produced by lipofuscin to form an incoherent pointlike source for conventional Shack-Hartmann sensing.
