title: The chromatic aberration adjustment in laser optometry.
abstract: The issues involved in designing chromatic aberration corrections in laser optometry are reviewed. There is considerable disagreement regarding both the magnitude of human eye chromatic aberration and the value that should be assumed for the reference wavelength. Also important are the observer's accommodative state, target luminance wavelength, laser wavelength, intersubject dioptric variations, and several other factors. The appropriate solution for most experiments appears to be to report no chromatic aberration adjustment at all; rather, the investigator should provide basic technical information from which interested readers can make their own corrections, depending on the assumptions of importance to them.
