The ocular aberrometry is an advanced test that measures the optical aberrations of the visual system, i.e. small imperfections in the way the eye focuses light. It allows accurate analysis of the quality of vision, beyond the conventional prescription (myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism).
At the clinic in Ali Nowrouzi we use state-of-the-art aberrometry to:
Assessing the optical quality of the eye.
Detect higher order aberrations responsible for glare, halos, blurred night vision or loss of sharpness.
Conduct detailed preoperative studies to laser surgery y premium intraocular lenses.
To analyse visual outcomes after refractive or cataract surgery.
Customised treatments for irregular corneas, keratoconus or post-LASIK.
The test is quick, painless and non-invasive.
They are small imperfections in the way light passes through the eye.
Some of these are common and do not affect vision, but the higher order aberrations can cause:
Halos around the lights.
Night glare.
Loss of contrast.
Washed-out or blurred vision.
Aberrometry allows them to be identified with great precision.
It is essential in the planning of refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK or SMILE), as it helps to:
To detect corneal irregularities not visible to the naked eye.
Prevent complications.
Designing treatments personalised according to the patient's vision.
Get sharper and more stable visual results.
It is therefore part of the advanced pre-operative work-up together with the corneal topographythe pachymetry and the OCT.
Yes, especially when assessing premium intraocular lenses (multifocal, extended range or toric).
Aberrometry helps to predict postoperative visual quality and to choose the most suitable lens option according to the patient's optical profile.
The patient looks at an image inside the aberroscope while the machine projects a light pattern.
No eye contact and no discomfort.
An accurate map of all optical aberrations is obtained in a few seconds.
The topography analyses the shape of the cornea.
The aberrometry measures how that shape affects the actual quality of vision.
Together they provide insight into both the structure and optical behaviour of the eye.
Aberrometry is very useful in:
Patients with poor night vision or halos.
Irregular corneas or suspected keratoconus.
Users of premium lenses or previous refractive surgery.
Assessment of visual outcomes after surgery.
No. It is completely painless, non-invasive and lasts only seconds per eye.
If you need a ocular aberrometry or you want to assess whether you are a good candidate for laser surgery or premium lenses, you can book an appointment with Dr. Ali Nowrouzi in Marbella and perform the test at the same visit, with detailed interpretation on the spot.
