We review the theoretical perspective for problems in adaptive optics, outline recent progress, and consider its application in the infrared. Techniques in adaptive optics are on the threshold of revolutionizing modern astronomy. These techniques are particularly applicable in the infrared, where refractive effects of turbulence are reduced, characteristic cell sizes are greater, and the isoplanatic patch diameter is increased. Adaptive techniques could be especially appropriate for modern large solar telescopes now under consideration that could operate in the infrared.
