- Abstract
- Purpose
To evaluate and compare the optical performances of 4 different types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in various spherical aberration (SA) conditions.
Setting
POSTECH, Pohang, Republic of Korea.
Design
In vitro laboratory study.
Methods
A custom optical bench system with adaptive optics (AO) was used. A monofocal IOL, a bifocal IOL, a trifocal IOL, and an extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOL from the Zeiss were evaluated by measuring through-focus modulation transfer function (MTF) as a function of vergence. MTF changes with SA from -0.1μm to +0.1μm with 0.05μm step size were analyzed and compared.
Results
In aberration free condition, the 4 IOLs showed different MTF curves consistent with their designs In SA conditions, all the IOLs showed MTF value decreases and the decrease rates at the far focus varied from 28% to 38% per 0.1μm SAs. The trifocal IOL had low MTF values at the intermediate focus in the noise level with ±0.1μm SAs.
Conclusions
All the tested IOLs showed MTF decreases with SA in different levels. The trifocal and EDOF IOLs were the most and least sensitive to SA among the evaluated IOLs. The study results might be useful in the selection of IOLs for cataract patients with SAs.
