    Cataract is the most common cause of preventable blindness and vision loss where the only treatment is surgical replacement of the natural lens with an intraocular lens. Computergenerated holography (CGH) enables to control phase, size, and shape of the light beam entering through the eye-pupil. We developed a holographic vision simulator to assess visual acuity for patients to experience the postoperative corrected vision before going through surgery. A holographically shaped light beam is directed onto the retina using small non-cataractous regions of the lens with the help of a pupil tracker. A Snellen chart hologram is shown to subjects at desired depth with myopia and hyperopia correction. Tests with 13 patients demonstrated substantial improvements in visual acuity and the simulator results are consistent with the post-operative vision tests. Holographic simulator overperforms the existing vision simulators, which are limited to static pinhole exit pupils and incapable of correcting aberrations.
