METHODS: A total of 54 healthy eyes were enrolled in the study. N2 - PURPOSE: To compare and evaluate the total and internal aberrations measured by two aberrometers: the laser ray tracing aberrometer (iTrace, Tracey Technology) and the automatic retinoscope aberrometer (OPD Scan, Nidek). T1 - Comparison of internal and total optical aberrations for 2 aberrometers

The aberrometers showed more agreement at a pupil diameter of 6 mm compared to 4 mm.", These results suggest that in healthy eyes, the two aberrometers may vary in some details. CONCLUSIONS: The iTrace and OPD Scan showed the largest number of differences for aberrations of internal optics rather than total aberrations for both pupil diameters. Aberrations of the internal optics showed significant differences in the mean values of total RMS, spherical aberration (Z4,0), and coma (Z3,-1) between the two devices (p<0.001, p=0.01, p<0.001). At a pupil diameter of 6 mm, the two instruments showed a similar number of total aberrations. Aberrations of the internal optics showed significant differences in the mean values of total RMS, coma (Z3,-1), and trefoil (Z3,3) between the iTrace and OPD Scan (p<0.001, p=0.01, p<0.001) for the same pupil diameter of 4 mm. RESULTS: At a pupil diameter of 4 mm, the number of total aberrations in the entire eye showed significant differences for the mean values of spherical aberrations (Z4,0) obtained with the OPD Scan and iTrace aberrometers (p=0.001). These parameters, together with the refractive parameters, were then analyzed and complimented by paired t-tests. For each aberrometer and each eye, the averaged Zernike data were used to calculate various root-mean-square (RMS) data. Aberrations of internal optics and total aberrations were compared for the two aberrometers. We compared the aberrations obtained from measurements obtained at pupillary diameters of 4 mm and 6 mm with the OPD Scan and iTrace. Following pupil dilation, aberrations were measured with the iTrace and OPD Scan. The aberrometers showed more agreement at a pupil diameter of 6 mm compared to 4 mm.Ībstract = "PURPOSE: To compare and evaluate the total and internal aberrations measured by two aberrometers: the laser ray tracing aberrometer (iTrace, Tracey Technology) and the automatic retinoscope aberrometer (OPD Scan, Nidek).
