+2.50 D, placed right after the collimation lens of the scanner, with its axis<br />
perpendicular to the line joining the mirrors of the scanner (axis at 0º), minimized the<br />
astigmatism. We then estimated the residual astigmatism by measuring the aberrations<br />
of an unaberrated artificial eye. We computed the value of the astigmatism from the<br />

R pupil<br />

where R pupil is the radius of the measured pupil. We obtained a value of 0.18±0.03<br />
D (mean <strong>and</strong> std across 5 measurements). This value (through the corresponding<br />
Zernike coefficients) was subtracted from the astigmatism obtained in the<br />
measurements.<br />
We verified that the sampling pattern selected using the control software was<br />
precisely delivered, by projecting the beams on a screen at the pupilary plane <strong>and</strong><br />
analyzing the images captured by the pupul camera. The mean deviation from the<br />
expected position (±st<strong>and</strong>ard deviation) across all 37 spot positions was 0.05 (±0.04)<br />
mm; 0.08 (±0.05) mm <strong>and</strong> 0.03 (±0.02) mm for X <strong>and</strong> Y coordinates, respectively.<br />
These differences are smaller than those typically resulting in real eye measurements<br />
due to eye movements, <strong>and</strong> below the variability of the measurement. We checked that<br />
these differences do not affect significantly the estimation of aberrations in real eyes<br />
(Llorente et al., 2007).<br />

The correct delivery of the samples on the pupil plane is crucial to obtain a<br />
reliable measurement. For this reason, a routine to perform quick real time verification<br />
of the pattern sampling the pupil plane (“test LRT”) was included in the control<br />
software (see Section 2.3.2.4). This routine involves a real-time test of the position of<br />
the actual laser spot locations, which must fall within the red circles plotted in the<br />
pupillary images (see Fig 2.23), corresponding to the exact sampling locations.<br />
Finally, to make sure that the processing program was correct, we confirmed that<br />
when computing transverse ray aberrations from the wave aberration (obtained after<br />
processing the experimental data), the corresponding spot diagram positions computed<br />
matched the spot diagram obtained experimentally.<br />
The Badal system included in the set up to compensate for the subject’s ametropic<br />
error was also calibrated. Moving the translational stage with two mirrors (Focusing<br />
Block) introduces a change in vergence that, for a focal length of 100 mm for each<br />
