Adaptive optics is now routinely used on a growing number of optical telescopes for the real-time compensationof atmospherically-induced aberrations. After a brief historical account, current technology is described. Thelimitations of the technique are reviewed. An example is given of the performance one can now achieve. Astronomical applications are summarized.
