Today, it is understood that conventional ophthalmic lenses can compensate only second-order optical aberrations. To alleviate higher-order aberration factors, a special phase plate with overall phase conjugation to the human eyes is required. Keeping in mind that this special phase plate needs to be practically placed in front of our eyes at an appropriate distance, the longitudinal misalignment can cause additionally unwanted optical aberrations. In this work, we show how a Fourier Optics can simply be applied in analyzing the performance of a phase plate in compensating the occular aberration under longitudinal misalignment. The result will lead to a new way in designing a customized wearable compensating phase device.
