Abstract

The optimum refraction at a series of wavelengths was determined by direct photoelectric measurement of the halfwidth of the double-pass, line-spread function. This was compared with the subjectively-estimated longitudinal chromatic aberration for the same eye. The agreement between the two sets of data is reasonable. The small observed discrepancies (~0.2 D.S.) may help to indicate the position of the reflecting retinal layers responsible for the double-pass image.
