Abstract
It has been generally considered that on the visual axis in monochromatic light, the eye is limited only by diffraction effects for pupil diameters up to 2mm1 and thereafter is predominantly affected by spherical aberration. Most eyes are considered to suffer from positive spherical aberration when unaccommodated, which tends to negative spherical aberration upon accommodation2-4. For positive spherical aberration, rays passing through the periphery of the pupil intercept the optical axis in front of the rays passing nearer the centre of the pupil.
