Abstract
Wavefront aberrations in the image space are critical for visual perception, though the clinical available instruments usually give the wavefront aberrations in the object space. This study aims to compare the aberrations in the object and image spaces. With the measured wavefront aberrations over the horizontal and vertical ±15° visual fields, the in-going and out-going wide-field individual myopic eye models were constructed to obtain the wavefront aberrations in the object and image spaces of the same eye over ±45° horizontal and vertical visual fields. The average differences in the mean sphere and astigmatism were below 0.25 D between the object and image spaces over the horizontal and vertical ±45° visual fields under 3 mm and 6 mm pupil diameter. The wavefront aberrations in the object space are a proper representation of the aberrations in the image space at least for horizontal visual fields ranging from -35°to +35° and vertical visual fields ranging from -15°to +15°.
