Abstract
Our research corresponds an inverse optical design (building and testing our model of the artificial eye). It also includes the ray-tracing analysis and comparison of different eye models including theoretical and the real practical models. We model the artificial eye using the optical design software Mathematica and Zemax. The inverse optical design involves modification of the original eye model parameters (thickness, radius of curvatures, lens centration and tilts) to match the experimental measurements of the wavefront aberrations. Our theoretical ray-tracing analysis and experimental results in Mathematica and Zemax are discussed in relation to the inverse optical design, which enables us to find the imperfections in various artificial eye practical models. Due to these results we identified the sources of errors and found the ways how to prevent them (to make them smaller).
