This review of wavefront technology looks at 2 major aspects. The first is the basics and principles of the optics of the eye, how to decompose the wavefront in a more adequate way for interpretation, and how these aberrations affect the visual acuity. It also addresses the diversity and complexity of wavefront sensors; how these devices transform the principles into clinically useful data, with the advantages and limitations of each system. The second major aspect is the clinical uses of the technology: wavefront-guided and newer and enhanced profiles related to wavefront as well as the limitations of the technology. Finally, recent innovations made possible by wavefront technology that are not limited to refractive surgery are reviewed.
本文综述了波前技术的 2 个主要方面。第一部分介绍了眼光学的基础和原理，如何更充分地分解波前以进行解释，以及这些像差如何影响视力。还介绍了波前传感器的多样性和复杂性；这些设备如何将原理转化为临床有用的数据，以及每个系统的优缺点。第二部分主要介绍了该技术的临床应用：波前引导以及与波前相关的更新和增强的技术，并讨论了该技术的局限性。最后，还回顾了波前技术带来的一些不受限于屈光手术的最新创新。
