Abstract

The present invention contemplates to employ an eye-tracking device in an ophthalmic adaptive-optics system such that slow wavefront sensor and aberration-compensating element can be sufficient for the application. The present invention further contemplates to implement with the eye-tracking device a motion-compensating mechanism into the system such that the pupil images on both the wavefront sensor and the aberration-compensating element remain stationary during the operation of the system.
