Higher order aberrations (HOA) make up about 85% of all aberrations in the eye. These HOA can cause difficulty seeing at night, glare, halos, starburst, double vision and overall blurring of vision. Patients with corneal issues, such as keratoconus can have a significant degradation of images with HOA’s and an irregular corneal surface. Understanding how best to manage these patients is important for clinicians in improving visual function.
