Abstract

A calibration component for use in calibrating and certifying the accuracy of an ophthalmic wavefront sensor comprises a monolithic, plano-convex refractive optic having known amounts of one or more selected aberrations induced by the spherical, axisymmetric aspherical, or non-axisyrmmetric aspherical convex surface. An alignment tool is described, along with a procedure for calibrating an aberrometer.
