The simulated system records nine wavefronts distributed within a region of approximately 20\u00b0 around the fovea and is evaluated under ideal and realistic conditions, including speckle and illumination inhomogeneities in HS sensor images. Aberrations are quantified by two approaches: a traditional centroid-based method and a custom-made ResNet convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on simulated HS images. Results show that speckle markedly degrades traditional reconstructions for eccentric points, whereas the CNN (trained with speckled data) exhibits greater robustness and accuracy across all nine wavefronts. This model serves as a proof of concept toward a physical multi-eccentric aberrometer that acquires nine wavefronts in a single shot, thereby eliminating sequential point-by-point acquisition, reducing measurement time, and limiting motion-induced variability between measurements. The approach has potential applications in evaluating ocular treatments and in longitudinal studies of ametropias where peripheral aberrations are implicated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s26144419","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,13]],"date-time":"2026-07-13T08:05:31Z","timestamp":1783929931000},"page":"4419","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Simultaneous Measurement of Peripheral Ocular Aberrations Using a Virtual Multi-Eccentric Hartmann\u2013Shack Aberrometer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4570-0188","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jennyfer","family":"Morales-Mar\u00edn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de \u00d3ptica y Fot\u00f3nica, Instituto de F\u00edsica, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Antioquia UdeA, Calle 70 No. 52-21, Medell\u00edn 050010, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9s","family":"Osorno-Quiroz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c1rea de Ciencias B\u00e1sicas, Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n en Innovaci\u00f3n Digital y Desarrollo Social (INDDES), Facultad de Ciencias y Humanidades, Instituci\u00f3n Universitaria Digital de Antioquia, Cra. 55 No. 42-90, Medell\u00edn 050015, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6435-6004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walter","family":"Torres-Sep\u00falveda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c1rea de Ciencias B\u00e1sicas, Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n en Innovaci\u00f3n Digital y Desarrollo Social (INDDES), Facultad de Ciencias y Humanidades, Instituci\u00f3n Universitaria Digital de Antioquia, Cra. 55 No. 42-90, Medell\u00edn 050015, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7747-9465","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandro","family":"Mira-Agudelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de \u00d3ptica y Fot\u00f3nica, Instituto de F\u00edsica, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Antioquia UdeA, Calle 70 No. 52-21, Medell\u00edn 050010, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Mariotti, S., Kocur, I., Resnikoff, S., Jong, M., Naidoo, K., and Jong, M.
