This study presents a numerical simulation-based investigation of a MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems)technology-based deformable mirror employing a piezoelectric film for fundus examination in adaptive optics. Compared to the classical equal-area electrode arrangement model, we optimize the electrode array for higher-order aberrations. The optimized model centralizes electrodes around the mirror center, which realizes low-voltage driving with high-accuracy correction. The optimized models exhibited commendable correction abilities, achieving a unidirectional displacement of 5.74 μm with a driven voltage of 15 V. The voltage-displacement relationship demonstrated high linearity at 0.99. Furthermore, the deformable mirror's influence matrix was computed, aligning with the Zernike standard surface shape of the order 1-3. To quantify aberration correction capabilities, fitting residuals for both models were calculated. The results indicate an average removal of 96.8% of aberrations to the human eye. This underscores that the optimized model outperforms the classical model in correcting high-order aberrations.
