1. A device for a subjective determination of aberrations of higher orders in an optical system, the device comprising:
at least one observation channel; and
a plurality of individual phase-plates aligned with each other and configured to be introduced into the observation channel, each phase-plate having optically active structures corresponding to a defined Zernike polynomial and to a defined amplitude of the defined Zernike polynomial, the defined Zernike polynomial having an order higher than two.
