Fourth, distortion of the wavefront, or speckles, should be eliminated entirely.

In TRUE imaging, this wavefront is detected, phase-conjugated and played back.
From the nature.com
This wave of molecular activity is not part of the original clock and wavefront model.
From the nature.com
The pupil of an eye, looking at the source, will see a small portion of the wavefront.

If the old Lasik is off the rack, wavefront is a custom-fit procedure.

After a 20-year ban, the military is funding corrective surgery, including wavefront techniques.

In the meantime, wavefront-guided LASIK offers the best chance for squinters to see like eagles.

- Wave front: (physics) an imaginary surface joining all points in space that are reached at the same instant by a wave propagating through a medium
- In physics, a wavefront is the locus (a line, or, in a wave propagating in 3 dimensions, a surface) of points having the same phase. ...
- A measure of the total refractive errors of the eye, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and other refractive errors that cannot be corrected with glasses or contacts.
- Describes technology used to "map" how the eye processes images, enabling correction through surgery or lenses for obscure vision errors.
- Wavefront technology produces a detailed map of the eye. The information is transferred to the laser via computer software.
- The use of light images to evaluate the way that waves of light pass through the visual system to detect problems with the way in which the eye handles light.
- A continuous surface associated with a wave radiation, in which all the vibrations concerned are in phase. A parallel beam has plane wavefronts; the output of a point source has spherical wavefronts. [DC99]
- In considering a field of electromagnetic energy emanating from a source, the wavefront is a surface connecting all field points that are equidistant from the source.
- A detailed personalised description of the precise amounts and locations of an individuals optical aberrations. This information is established using an aberrometer and saved on computer to be used to direct the laser for a bespoke laser eye correction.
