Aspheric Lenses

The document discusses aspheric intraocular lenses (IOLs) and their advantages over standard IOLs. Aspheric IOLs reduce spherical aberration and other higher-order aberrations caused by aging lenses. This improves vision by increasing contrast sensitivity and reducing issues like blurred vision, halos, and night glare. The document outlines various aspheric IOL models and lenses and their physical parameters and aberration correction capabilities.

ASPHERIC LENSES

Advancement in IOL technology


 Small power steps in toric,
presbyopia-correcting multifocals.
 IOL with specific filters for wave
length of light.
 Sophisticated Aspheric lenses.
Requirement of Aspheric Lense
Young Eye

Naturally occuring positive spherical


aberration of cornea

Compensated

Naturally occuring negative spehrical


aberration of crystallin lense

Optimal vision
Requirement of Aspheric Lenses

With age
spherical aberration of crystallin lense
gadually become more positive

Imbalance

Reduces the contrast sensitivity and


visual function
Requirement of Aspheric Lenses
With standard IOL implantation

Add positive spherical aberration already


found on the cornea

Results:
Blurred vision
Haloes
Night glare
Wavefront Technology
 Ability to measure higher order
aberration
 Better understanding of an optical
system which results in new category
of Aspheric IOLs.
Advantages of Aspheric Lenses
 Reduced Spherical and total higher order
aberrations
• Statistically significant reduction in spherical aberration
• Statistically significant reduction in higher order aberrations
• Increased Mesopic Contrast Sensitivity
• Statistically significant postoperative improvement
demonstrated at 3 months after 2nd eye implant
• Improved functional Vision
• Statistically and clinically significant improvements
demonstrated in a simulated night driving test under several
conditions, especially glare and fog.
