title: Verification of the lack of correlation between age and longitudinal chromatic aberrations of the human eye from the visible to the infrared.
abstract: Several researchers studied the longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) of the human eye and observed that it does not change due to age. We measured the LCA of 45 subjects' normal right eyes at three distinct wavelengths (561, 690, and 840 nm) using a Hartmann-Shack wavefront aberrometer (HSWA) while consecutively switching between three light sources for wavefront sensing. We confirmed that the LCA of the human eye does not change due to age between 22 and 57 years.
