| ABSTRACT | Tunable lenses are becoming ubiquitous, in applications including microscopy, optical coherence tomography, computer vision, quality control, autorefractors, and presbyopic corrections. Many applications require an accurate control of the optical power of the lens in response to a time-dependent input waveform. |

| ABSTRACT | Motivation: A high percentage of the global population suffers from poor vision which can be easily corrected by the prescription of eyeglasses. Refractive errors if not corrected can end in severe or total vision impairment. The main restrain for the use of corrective measures is the lack of eye care professional and/or devices operated by minimally trained personnel which are capable of providing accurate eyeglasses prescriptions. |

| This pilot study evaluates the performance of non-cycloplegic binocular autorefraction using the QuickSee, in comparison to clinical pediatric refraction. A total of 24 subjects (9.74 ± 2.34 years old, mean spherical equivalent -0.33 ± 1.94 D) were refracted using the device and subjective refraction. Differences between Spherical Equivalent power obtained by each refraction method were within 0.25 D and 0.5 D for 62.5 % and 83.3 % of the eyes, respectively. The average visual acuity obtained with trial lenses set to the QuickSee refractions and subjective refraction was 0.021±0.002 and 0.009±0.001 LogMAR units, respectively. Visual acuity from QuickSee refractions was equal to or better than that achieved with the standard clinical procedure in 81.3 % of eyes. |

| Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. In various forms of HF, excessive cardiac workload leads to enlargement of the heart in an effort to manage increased hemodynamic demand. Although the increased heart size is a compensatory mechanism, sustained overload can ultimately lead to ventricular dilatation and a decline in left ventricular (LV) function. Furthermore, several K+ currents are down regulated during adverse ventricular remodelling, contributing to repolarization abnormalities and the occurrence of ventricular malignant arrhythmias. |

| ABSTRACT | ABSTRACT The clinical accuracy of objective refraction instruments has improved over the last decade thanks to the implementation of faster, more accurate and easier to operate autorefractors. Despite these improvements, subjective refraction (SR) remains the gold standard for prescribing eyeglasses because, even though it takes much longer than an objective reading, allows taking into account the visual preferences of the patient and iteratively improving their visual acuity (VA). This work proposes an automatic classification system which has been designed to predict clinically relevant disagreements (≥0.75 D in Spherical Equivalent (SE)) between a novel dynamic wavefront aberrometer, the QuickSee Flip (QSf), and subjective refraction. |

| ABSTRACT | Motivation: Uncorrected refractive errors affect more than one billion people worldwide because of the limited access to eye care in low-resource settings. Inaccessibility to an eyeglass prescription in developing countries is mainly caused by the shortage of qualified professionals. Our research group in Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, together with the company PlenOptika Inc (USA) introduced a novel handheld open-view autorefractor called QuickSee (QS). The device uses a wavefront sensing approach, avoiding expensive components and it is able to accurately provide eyeglass prescriptions in only 10 seconds. Its ease of use allows minimally-trained personnel to perform refraction. This works explores the possibility of using complete dynamic wavefront information (low- and high-order aberrations and time) to further improve the accuracy of the device and expand its capabilities. |
