Using pattern classification to measure adaptation to the orientation of high order aberrations.
<h4>Background</h4>The image formed by the eye's optics is blurred by the ocular aberrations, specific to each eye. Recent studies demonstrated that the eye is adapted to the level of blur produced by the high order aberrations (HOA). We examined whether visual coding is also adapte...
