Summary

This study investigates how the human eye focuses on objects of different colors. Healthy volunteers aged 18-35 with normal vision will view colored shapes on a screen that appear to jump in distance. A wavefront sensor measures how accurately and quickly the eye refocuses. The goal is to better understand the eye's focusing mechanism, which is essential for clear vision.
