Understanding ocular wave front abberation-part 2

Professor Neil Charman concludes his discussion of wavefront aberration analysis with a few cautionary words. Equations and Tables from Part 1 (optician, July 8, page 24) are referred to in this week's optican, however, to view the equations as in the hard copy of the article, click below

THE FULL SPHERO-CYLINDRICAL CORRECTION
Having considered the spherical defocus, we can now turn to the problem of deriving the full sphero-cylindrical correction from the total wavefront errors. If we examine the Zernike polynomials in Table 1 we see that
