    Abstract

    To improve ophthalmic adaptive optics (AO) speed and compensate for ocular wavefront aberration of high temporal frequency, the AO wavefront correction is implemented with a control scheme including two parallel threads: one is dedicated to wavefront detection and the other conducts wavefront reconstruction and compensation. With a custom Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor that measures the ocular wave aberration with 193 subapertures across the pupil, AO achieves a closed-loop updating frequency up to 110 Hz, and demonstrates robust compensation for ocular wave aberration up to 50 Hz in an AO scanning laser ophthalmoscope.
