Simulation methods to evaluate and optimize optical designs in order to improve the presbyopia correction
2014
El envejecimiento tiene dos grandes consecuencias en la visión, la presbicia y las cataratas. La presbicia es el resultado de la declinación natural, relacionada con la edad, de la capacidad para enfocar objetos cercanos. Existe una gran población présbita, en edades comprendidas entre los 45 y 65 años. Las cataratas se producen en personas mayores como resultado natural del proceso del envejecimiento, causando una pérdida de visión debido a la opacificación del cristalino. La cirugía de cataratas es la cirugía más habitual en oftalmología, pero también la intervención quirúrgica, no sólo ocular, más practicada a nivel mundial. Un 30% de la población mayor de 65 años presenta algún tipo de …
Temporal multiplexing with adaptive optics for simultaneous vision.
2016
We present and test a methodology for generating simultaneous vision with a deformable mirror that changed shape at 50 Hz between two vergences: 0 D (far vision) and −2.5 D (near vision). Different bifocal designs, including toric and combinations of spherical aberration, were simulated and assessed objectively. We found that typical corneal aberrations of a 60-year-old subject changes the shape of objective through-focus curves of a perfect bifocal lens. This methodology can be used to investigate subjective visual performance for different multifocal contact or intraocular lens designs.
Kosteneffektivitätsanalyse der Versorgung von Kataraktpatienten mit monofokalen Intraokularlinsen aus Sicht der Leistungserstatter
2003
BACKGROUND Data on the cost effectiveness of cataract surgery with respect to the German statutory health insurance system are hardly available. Hence the increase in visual acuity as primary efficacy endpoint, order of posterior capsule opacification as primary complication endpoint and direct cost for supplementation with monofocal intraocular lenses have been assessed via meta-analyses to evaluate the procedure's cost effectiveness from the perspective of the German statutory health insurance system. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using the medical internet database MEDLINE two meta-analyses on publications between 1995 and 2002 were carried out, one estimating the gained increase in visual acuity…
Analysis of the possible benefits of aspheric intraocular lenses: review of the literature.
2008
We reviewed recently published studies that analyzed the visual and optical quality in eyes with different spherical and aspheric intraocular lenses (IOLs). Recent studies focused on visual quality metrics, such as visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, under photopic and mesopic lighting conditions and optical metrics, such as wavefront aberrations, especially spherical aberration. The results in this review were used in an attempt to understand whether there is a visual and/or optical benefit of implanting aspheric IOLs over implanting spherical IOLs.
Visual performance with multifocal intraocular lenses
2004
Abstract Objective To evaluate distance and near visual performance under bright (photopic) and dim (mesopic) conditions in patients who had undergone uncomplicated cataract extraction with multifocal or monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Design Prospective, nonrandomized, masked, comparative, observational case series. Participants Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients after zonal-progressive multifocal IOL implantation (Allergan Medical Optics Array SA-40N) and 32 eyes of 32 age-matched patients after monofocal IOL implantation (Allergan Medical Optics SI-40NB). Intervention All eyes underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. Main outcome measures At 18 months after surgery,…
Objective and subjective evaluation of photic phenomena after monofocal and multifocal intraocular lens implantation11The authors have no commercial …
1999
Abstract Objective To objectively measure and compare halo, flicker, and glare disability in pseudophakic eyes with monofocal (MONO) and multifocal (MULTI) intraocular lenses (IOLs) with respect to the influence of corneal surface quality, astigmatism, and age. Design Prospective case series. Participants This clinical trial involved 28 eyes of 28 patients after small-incision cataract surgery with a MONO silicone IOL and 28 eyes of 28 patients with zonal-progressive silicone IOL. Intervention A computer program objectively determined halo, glare, and flicker. Corneal surface quality and astigmatism were measured using computerized videokeratography. Ray-tracing analysis was performed based…
In vitro optical performance of a new aberration-free intraocular lens
2014
To assess the optical performance of the new EnVista intraocular lens (IOL). Four aspheric IOLs were evaluated; the new EnVista is one amoung them. This IOL, similarly to the Z-Flex HB and the Bi-Flex 1.8 667AB ones, has a neutral aspheric design, whereas the fourth IOL under test (AcrySof IQ IOL SN60WF) presents a negative spherical aberration (SA). The IOL’s aberration patterns were measured in vitro, by setting them up on an optical bench. From these aberration-pattern data, the modulation transfer function (MTF), the average modulation values, and the points spread function (PSF) were calculated. Furthermore, in order to assess the potential optical quality that these IOLs would yield o…
Optical quality comparison between 2 collagen copolymer posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens designs
2014
Purpose To compare the optical quality in vitro of 2 designs of the Visian Implantable Collamer Lens phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) for different powers and optical apertures. Setting University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain. Design Experimental study. Methods The Nimo TR1504 deflectometry device was used to measure the V4c pIOL, which has a smaller optic diameter, and the V5 pIOL, which has a larger optic diameter. The pIOLs were measured for −3.00 diopters (D), −6.00 D, −9.50 D, and −10.50 D at different optical apertures from 3.00 to 6.00 mm depending on the IOL power and model. The root mean square of higher-order aberrations (RMS HOAs) was analyzed. The Strehl ratio, point-spread functi…
In vitro optical performance of nonrotational symmetric and refractive-diffractive aspheric multifocal intraocular lenses: impact of tilt and decentr…
2012
Purpose To evaluate the optical quality of Acrysof Restor SN6AD1 refractive–diffractive +3.00 D and Lentis Mplus LS-312 nonrotational symmetric +3.00 D aspheric multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and analyze the effect of tilt and decentration. Setting University of Valencia, Valencia, and University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain. Design Experimental study. Methods An artificial model eye was used to measure wavefront aberrations of both IOL models. The modulation transfer function (MTF) and point-spread function (PSF) were calculated for a 5.0 mm pupil and under 5 situations: centered, 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm decentered, and 2 degrees and 4 degrees tilted. Results The refractive–diffractive IOL had…
Tolerance to rotation of toric monofocal and bifocal intraocular lenses. A theoretical study
2018
Abstract This manuscript aims to evaluate the tolerance to rotation of a toric monofocal and a toric bifocal intraocular lenses with different cylinder powers. Theoretical designs based on wavefront aberrations were created to simulate a toric monofocal and a toric bifocal intraocular lens. Cylinder power ranged from −1 D to −6 D, in steps of −1 D. Tolerance to rotation was estimated by the visual Strehl ratio based on the optical transfer function (VSOTF) metric. Tolerance to rotation for both monofocal and bifocal intraocular lenses decreased when the cylinder power increased. For the bifocal design studied, the tolerance to rotation was larger for the near focus than for the far, however…
