==Point spread functions in ophthalmology==
 
Point spread functions have recently become a useful diagnostic tool in clinical [[ophthalmology]]. Patients are measured with a [[wavefront]] sensor, and special software calculates the PSF for that patient's eye. This method allows a physician to simulate potential treatments on a patient, and estimate how those treatments would alter the patient's PSF. Additionally, once measured the PSF can be minimized using an adaptive optics system. This, in conjunction with a [[Charge-coupled device|CCD]] camera and an adaptive optics system, can be used to visualize anatomical structures not otherwise visible ''in vivo'', such as cone photoreceptors.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Roorda|first=Austin|last2=Romero-Borja|first2=Fernando|last3=Iii|first3=William J.
