Abstract:
1. A corrective method for a direct-viewing optical device, comprising: providing one or more transformable optical elements capable of transformation, wherein the transformable optical elements are selectively removable as an operative component of the direct-viewing device; incorporating the transformable optical elements in the direct-viewing optical device, wherein incorporating the transformable optical elements comprises one of, obtaining information regarding corrective optical features that include at least one higher order corrective optical parameter correlated with a current user of the direct-viewing optical device; processing the obtained information to determine a specified optical wavefront change appropriate to the current user, and processing device-based corrective parameters regarding optical defects of the direct-viewing device to determine the specified wavefront change to correct for the optical defects of the direct-viewing device, the optical defects of the direct-viewing optical device comprising one or more of a known radial distortion, calibrated aberration, and wavefront error of the specific direct viewing optical device; and modifying the transformable optical elements in a manner to produce the specified change in optical wavefront at an exit pupil of the direct-viewing optical device, wherein incorporating the transformable optical elements in the direct-viewing optical device comprises enabling automated installation or automated withdrawal of the transformable optical elements as an operative component on the direct-viewing optical device.
