PURPOSE To evaluate the in vivo aberrometric performance of two phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs); the Visian implantable contact lens (ICL) and the AcrySof Cachet PIOL. METHODS Thirty eight eyes from 29 patients with an age range of 23-32 years and more than 9 D of myopia were divided into two groups; one group of 20 eyes received a Visian ICL model V4c, another group of 18 eyes received an ...

PURPOSE To compare experimental optical performance in eyes implanted with spherical and aspheric intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHODS Corneal, total, and internal aberrations were measured in 19 eyes implanted with spherical (n=9) and aspheric (n=10) IOLs. Corneal aberrations were estimated by virtual ray tracing on corneal elevation maps, and total aberrations were measured using a second-gen...

Given the relationship between spherical aberrations and accommodation, study of these can be helpful to understand accommodative response in subjects with dysfunctions. The purpose this was evaluate on-axis off-axis changes primary secondary aberrations, Z(4,0) Z(6,0), accommodation insufficiency (AI). Ten AI eleven without any dysfunction (control) participated study. On-axis defocus Z(2,0), ...

SEPTEMBER 2009 I CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY EUROPE I 31 O ur visual system integrates the refractive surfaces of the cornea and the crystalline lens; the positive spherical aberration (SA) of the cornea is partially cancelled out by the negative SA of the crystalline lens.1,2 As the eye ages, the cornea remains fairly stable, but the crystalline lens thickens at the periphery, inducing...
