Call for Papers: Special Issue

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. Study of  the eye's optics slowed somewhat 
in the 70's and 80's, but 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 optics.
Visual psychophysics with adaptive optics.

Guest Editors:
