The evaluation of visual quality about human eyes has always been an important issue in the field of eye science and visual optics,and it is mainly divided into subjective evaluation method and objective evaluation method,evaluation indicators including visual acuity,contrast sensitivity,wavefront aberration and retinal straylight,and so on.In addition,according to different principles and standards,visual system imaging quality evaluation methods can also be divided into visual refractive system and retinal nerve system evaluation,geometrical optics and physical optics evaluation,static and dynamic visual function evaluation.The selection of visual quality evaluation method should be considered from multiple dimensions on comprehensive consideration.in recent years,the improvement of quality of life promotes the development of visual quality assessment methods,and more attention is paid to the evaluation of continuous functional visual acuity.This article reviews the research progress of visual quality assessment methods.
