Abstract :
This paper describes the application of NASA´s software that calculates optical aberrations (wavefront errors). The power of this software lies in its ability to use an optical system´s existing camera as a sensor to detect its own error, without installing any separate devices. This software is expected to sharpen images from space and improving the image quality of the astronomical telescopes, it could also redefine perfect vision for humans.
