Simulating Outcomes of Cataract Surgery: Important Advances in Ophthalmology

Abstract: As the human eye ages, the crystalline lens stiffens (presbyopia) and opacifies (cataract), requiring its replacement with an artificial lens [intraocular lens (IOL)]. Cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgical procedure in the world. The increase in IOL designs has not been paralleled in practice by a sophistication in IOL selection methods, which rely on limited anatomical measurements of the eye and the surgeon's interpretation of the patient's needs and expectations. We propose that the fut… Show more

“…24 Vision simulators based on temporal multiplexing were advantageous over AO-based simulators regarding prices and sizes. 25 Although various vision simulators were developed for in vivo testing in patients, these devices need more time to be accessible. In vitro testing in optical bench systems avoids the aforementioned subjective factors, can objectively and accurately evaluate the optical performance of the IOL, and can provide guidelines for selecting appropriate IOLs based on the aberration conditions of patients.…”

“…The crystalline lens loses its accommodation ability and transparency with age, in what is known as presbyopia and cataract, respectively. The most common treatment for cataract involves removing the opacified crystalline lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) [2]. Emergent treatments for presbyopia, still under development, include accommodative IOLs (A-IOLs) [3,4], which attempt to mimic the ability of the natural crystalline lens to change its shape (and thus its optical power) as a response of the action of the ciliary muscle, or pharmacological treatments to soften the crystalline lens material [5].…”

“…In particular, line acquisition speed increased from the 0.41 Hz of the first OCT image of the anterior segment [3], to the KHz using spectral domain OCT [4], or to MHz regime using swept sources [5,6]. With the increase in the acquisition speed, volumes of data can be acquired rapidly and the images can be quantified to study the 3D shape of the cornea and the crystalline lens [7][8][9][10][11].…”
