Abstract

A binocular adaptive optics visual simulator and a method for binocular adaptive optics visual simulation are provided. An example method may comprise: directing beacon light to a left eye and a right eye of a subject, respectively; sensing aberrations of the left and right eyes of the subject, and sensing a deflection angle of a pupil of each of the left and right eyes; correcting the aberrations based on the sensed aberrations to achieve a desired aberration configuration between the left and right eyes; and changing a direction in which the beacon light is directed based on the sensed deflection angle in such a manner that in a case where the pupil is subjected to deflection, the beacon light is incident onto the pupil of each of the left and right eyes of the subject at a substantially identical angle before and after the deflection of the pupil.
