Optical analysis to predict outcomes after implantation of a double intraocular lens magnification device.

2007

Purpose To analyze the effect of different optical parameters of the eye on the outcomes of implantation of a double intraocular lens (IOL) magnification device in patients with low vision. Setting Fundacion Oftalmologica del Mediterraneo, Valencia, Spain. Methods The eye's refraction and magnification before and after surgery were evaluated using a theoretical eye model based on paraxial optics approximation. Four parameters on which refraction and magnification are dependent were evaluated: anterior chamber depth (ACD), axial length (AL), mean keratometry (Km), and the distance between the 2 implanted IOLs. The 4 variables were analyzed separately in the first stage. Next, different combi…
