      Optics in Vision

Optics has always been a source of innovation in vision research, 
providing technology that has advanced our understanding of the 
visual system. Moreover, because the eye's optics set the first limit 
on visual performance, ocular optics has traditionally been a focus 
in vision research. Throughout the 70's and 80's, the study of the 
eye's optics stagnated and seemed out-of-date. More recently, Visual 
Optics has begun a renaissance caused by the introduction of new 
optical technologies such as wavefront sensing and adaptive optics. 
These technologies are opening doors to research on vision that were 
impossible before.

To disseminate recent advances in Visual Optics within the vision 
research community and to foster the use of new optical technology in 
vision research, we invite researchers to contribute to a special 
issue of the Journal of Vision. This issue will address a wide range 
of topics in Visual Optics, including but not limited to:

Nature and statistics of aberrations
Novel wavefront sensing techniques
Sources of the aberrations within the eye
Chromatic aberration
Scattered light
Development and age effects
Models of the ocular optics
Predicting and modelling vision using optical data
Defining quality of vision metrics based on wave aberration data
Retinal imaging techniques using adaptive optic
Visual psychophysics with adaptive optics
