A New Intraocular Lens Design to Reduce Spherical Aberration of Pseudophakic Eyes

Abstract: PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to design and evaluate in the laboratory a new intraocular lena (IOL) intended to provide superior octtlar optical quality by reducing spherical aberration. METHODS: Corneal topography measurements were performed on 71 cataract patients using an Orbscan I. The measured corneal surface shapes were used to determine the wavefront aberration of each cornea. A model cornea was then designed to reproduce the measured average spherical aberration. This model cornea was us… Show more

“…>7° of IOL tilt significantly decreases visual acuity. 13 In our series, the mean IOL tilt of 2.5°±4.5° horizontally and -4.00°±2.754° vertically is within the limits to avoid visual disturbances. The two patients with replacement of IOL had a poorer spherical equivalence, probably because of the use of a new IOL, the presence of larger (2.75 mm) corneal incision, and the manipulation of IOL explantation.…”

“…The effect of the IOL design on aberrations was reported by Holladay et al [19]. Since the Trinova IOL is a diffractive IOL, more aberrations would be expected.…”

“…Previous studies indicated that decentration would induce coma, astigmatism and defocus (14). It has been (15) reported that visual function of aspheric IOLs is worse than spherical IOLs when the tilt is more than 7 • or when decentration is more than 0.4 mm. Another study (14) based on the Liou-Brennan model eye found that the aspherical IOLs are more sensitive to decentration and tilt than spherical IOLs.…”
