Background: The aim was to assess the impact of 5- and 10-degree rotations in the optical quality of a trifocal toric intraocular lens with different amounts of cylinder. Methods: Two Physiol Toric intraocular lenses with 1.5 and 3.0 D of cylinder were analysed in three different positions: centred, 5 and 10 degrees rotated. The optical quality of the intraocular lenses was evaluated with the PMTF optical bench through specific perpendicular targets. The analysis was performed by the through-focus modulation transfer function curves and the modulation transfer function corresponding to distance vision (0 D of vergence). Results: For a centred situation, the through-focus modulation transfer function curves of both intraocular lenses showed the classical three peaks corresponding to the powers of the two principal meridians of the intraocular lenses. When 5 and 10 degrees of rotation were induced, the three peaks were attenuated in both cases. The case with the intraocular lens with 3.0 D of cylinder and 10 degrees of rotation showed the worst optical quality and a significant loss of trifocality. The modulation transfer function values obtained for distance vision also showed the worst optical quality for the intraocular lens with 3.0 D of cylinder and 10 degrees of rotation. Conclusion: Rotations over 5 degrees decreased the optical quality of trifocal toric intraocular lenses, being this reduction moderate from 5 to 10 degrees for low levels of cylinder (≤1.5 D). For mid-high levels of cylinder (≥3.0 D), rotations over 5 degrees cause a significant loss of optical quality at all object distances.

Objective: To compare visual quality in patients implanted with Tecnis® monofocal (ZCB00) and multifocal (ZMB00) intraocular lenses taking into account their optical quality measured in vitro with an eye model. Methods: In total, 122 patients participated in this study: 44 implanted with monofocal and 78 with multifocal intraocular lenses. Measurements of visual acuity and contrast sensitivity were performed. The optical quality of the intraocular lenses was evaluated in three image planes (distance, intermediate and near) using an eye model on a test bench. The metric considered was the area under the curve of the modulation transfer function. Results: Optical quality at the far focus of the monofocal intraocular lens (area under the curve of the modulation transfer function = 66.97) was considerably better than that with the multifocal lens (area under the curve of the modulation transfer function = 32.54). However, no significant differences were observed between groups at the distance-corrected visual acuity. Distance-corrected near vision was better in the multifocal (0.15 ± 0.20 logMAR) than that in the monofocal group (0.43 ± 0.21 logMAR, p < 0.001), which correlated with the better optical quality at near reached by the multifocal intraocular lens (area under the curve of the modulation transfer function = 29.11) in comparison with the monofocal intraocular lens (area under the curve of the modulation transfer function = 5.0). In intermediate vision, visual acuity was 0.28 ± 0.16 logMAR (multifocal) and 0.36 ± 0.14 logMAR (monofocal) with p = 0.014, also in good agreement with the values measured in the optical quality (area under the curve of the modulation transfer function = 10.69 (multifocal) and 8.86 (monofocal)). The contrast sensitivity was similar in almost all frequencies. Pelli–Robson was slightly better in the monofocal (1.73) than in the multifocal group (1.64; p = 0.023). Conclusion: Patients implanted with multifocal ZMB00 achieved a distance visual acuity similar to those implanted with monofocal ZCB00, but showed significantly better intermediate and near visual acuity. A correlation was found between intraocular lenses’ optical quality and patients’ visual acuity. Contrast sensitivity was very similar between the multifocal and monofocal groups.

The optical quality of three multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) was measured in vitro using the area under the modulation transfer function (MTFa) and energy efficiency (EE). We evaluated those metrics through-focus (TF) by axially scanning the image space with three wavelengths (R, G, B). High linear correlation between MTFa and EE was found for all cases. Correlations between optical in vitro results (polychromatic TF-MTFa and TF-EE) and clinical visual acuity (VA) defocus curves for the three MIOLs allowed us to derive mathematical expressions. Both metrics proved to be equivalent to predict postoperative VA.

Purpose: To compare objective image quality at distant, intermediate, and near foci with the corresponding visual acuity (VA) in patients symmetrically implanted with 5 different diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (ReSTOR SV25T0, Tecnis ZKB00, Tecnis ZLB00, AT LISA 809, and AT LISA Tri 839MP) and a monofocal lens (Tecnis ZA9003) 3 months after cataract intervention. Methods: Objective image quality, measured as the area under the modulation transfer function curve (AMTF), was tested in vitro in an eye model. In addition, corrected distance visual acuity and distance-corrected intermediate and near visual acuities (DCIVA and DCNVA) were assessed in a group of 79 patients, randomly implanted with one of the lenses. Results: Image quality and VA at the distant focus was good for all lens designs, but was similarly compromised at the intermediate focus, where the best DCIVA corresponded to the low add ZKB00. At the near focus, the monofocal lens and the distance dominant SV25T0 had the worst AMTF values, with the ZLB00 presenting the best DCNVA. The relationship between AMTF and VA was found not to be linear, with VA being similarly good for AMTF values over a certain threshold. Conclusions: Visual acuity of pseudophakic patients reflected the optical quality of the specific IOL design within a certain range of measurements, beyond which maximum VA is limited by other ocular, optical, and neuropsychophysical factors.

LAPAN-A3 satellite brings a multispectral imager as main payload which has four color channel, i.e.: red, green, blue and near-infrared. The imager optics system uses beam-splitter mechanism, which divides the incoming light passing lens system into each color channel detector. Since each channel detector has different position and orientation with respect to lens center, then images produced by each channel detector will have different image focus quality. Such factor could reduce the quality of image produced. This research aims to improve the composite image quality of LAPAN-A3 satellite multispectral imager by ensuring that every channel detector will have uniform focus setting. The method used in this research consists of taking series of observation of object with zebra-cross pattern, then processed them by using Imatest software. The determination of the quality of each image focus are based on Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) calculation in particular spatial frequency. After several observations and calculation, image focus level of each channel detector can be successfully uniformed by controlling the distance of each detector to the center of lens. Furthermore, the experiment also able to reduce distortion caused by channel co-registration in horizontal axes. As a result, image quality of LAPAN-A3 satellite multispectral imager can be improved significantly. These results can be used as reference on the actual LAPAN-A3 sattelite ground station operation, and to support the development of experimental multispectral imager that is prepared for the next LAPAN-A4 sattelite. ABSTRAKSatelit LAPAN-A3 membawa imager multispektral sebagai muatan utama, yang memiliki empat kanal warna yaitu merah, hijau, biru, dan near-infrared. Sistem optik imager dirancang dengan menggunakan beam-splitter yang akan membagi cahaya yang melewati sistem lensa menuju detektor masing-masing kanal warna. Karena setiap detektor memiliki posisi dan juga orientasi yang berbeda terhadap pusat lensa, maka akan terjadi ketidakseragaman derajat kefokusan untuk setiap citra yang dihasilkan oleh masing-masing kanal warna, yang dapat mengurangi kualitas citra komposit yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas citra komposit imager multispektral satelit LAPAN-A3 dengan cara memastikan agar setiap kanal warna akan menghasilkan citra dengan derajat kefokusan yang seragam. Metode yang digunakan yaitu dengan mengambil sejumlah data pengamatan terhadap obyek dengan pola geometri zebra-cross, dan kemudian diolah dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak Imatest. Penentuan kualitas fokus citra dilakukan dengan mengukur Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) pada frekuensi spasial tertentu. Berdasarkan sejumlah pengamatan dan perhitungan yang dilakukan, derajat kefokusan citra yang dihasilkan masing-masing detektor dapat diseragamkan dengan mengatur jarak detektor tersebut terhadap pusat lensa. Selain itu, percobaan yang dilakukan juga dapat mengurangi distorsi ko-registrasi kanal yang terjadi pada sumbu horisontal. Kedua hasil tersebut secara signifikan dapat meningkatkan kualitas citra imager multispektral satelit LAPAN-A3, terutama dalam aspek geometri. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat digunakan sebagai panduan dalam proses operasional satelit LAPAN-A3 selanjutnya dan juga dapat mendukung pengembangan imager multispektral eksperimen yang sedang dikembangkan untuk satelit LAPAN-A4.
