Purpose To evaluate the image quality of intraocular lenses (IOLs) using field-tracing optical simulation and then compare it with the image quality using conventional ray-tracing simulation. Methods We simulated aspheric IOLs with a decenter, tilt, and no misalignment using an aspheric corneal eye model with a positive spherical aberration. The retinal image, Strehl ratio, and modulation transfer function (MTF) were compared between the ray-tracing and field-tracing optical simulation and confirmed by the results reported in an in vitro experiment using the same eye model. Results The retinal image showed interference fringes from target due to diffraction from the object in a field-tracing simulation. When compared with the experimental results, the field tracing represented the experimental results more precisely than ray tracing after passing over 400 μm of the decentration and 4 degrees of the tilt of the IOLs. The MTF values showed similar results for the case of no IOL misalignment in both the field tracing and ray tracing. In the case of the 200-μm decentration or 8-degree tilt of IOL, the field-traced MTF shows lower values than the ray-traced one. Conclusions The field-tracing optical bench simulation is a reliable method to evaluate IOL performance according to the IOL misalignment. It can provide retinal image quality close to real by taking into account the wave nature of light, interference and diffraction to explain to patients having the IOL misalignment.

Purpose To numerically evaluate and compare the tolerance to misalignment and tilt of aspheric intraocular lenses (IOLs) designed for three eyes: with standard cornea and with simulated corneas after myopic and hyperopic laser ablation surgery. Methods Three aspheric IOLs of +20.00 diopter (D) with different spherical aberration (SA) (Z40) values have been designed using a theoretical model eye. Drastic changes on the theoretical eye anterior corneal asphericity have been performed to simulate myopic and hyperopic refractive surgeries. The effect of IOL misalignment and tilt on the image quality has been evaluated using a commercial optical software design for the three eye models. Image quality was assessed from the modulation transfer function (MTF), root mean square (RMS) values of defocus, astigmatism, coma and spherical aberration (Z40), and retinal images obtained from a visual simulator using an aleatory optotype of 0.00 LogMar visual acuity (VA). Results IOL misalignment and tilt reduced MTF values in general, and increased wavefront aberrations errors. Aberration-free IOLs maintained best the MTF values when misalignments were applied, together with good on-axis optical quality. IOLs with negative SA (Z40) correction decreased the MTF value under 0.43 for misalignments values higher than 0.50 mm with the three corneas. The effect of misalignment on RMS astigmatism and coma was correlated with the IOL SA (Z40) and with the three corneas. Conclusions This theoretical study shows that the largest degradation in image quality arises for the IOL with the highest amount of spherical aberration (Z40). Moreover, it has been found that the aspherical design has a more influential role in misalignment tolerance than in tilt tolerance.

Purpose. Determination of the influence of the intraocular lens (IOL) inclination and decentration on the magnitude of induced astigmatism in a theoretical study using software on an eye model. Material and methods. An eye model with the specified parameters was performed to carry out the calculation. Modulation of the change in the wavefront was carried out using the Zemax program (LLC, USA). In the model eye, the probability of induction of astigmatism was analyzed depending on the change in the position of the aspherical IOL Acrysof IQ 16.0, 22.0 and 24.0 diopters and the toric model Acrysof IQ Toric SN6AT3, SN6AT4 and SN6AT5. The angle of inclination of the IOL relative to the horizontal plane was examined from 0° to 10° with a step of 1°, decentration from 0.1 to 1.5 mm with a step of 0.1 mm. At each IOL position, aberration data of the 2nd order Z (2, 2) were recorded. The obtained results were used to calculate the critical tilt angle and decentration. Results. The magnitude of induced astigmatism increased with the rise of the degree of inclination and decentration, corresponding to an increase in the optical power of the IOL. Accordingly, critically significant were the values of 3.0° inclination for the aspherical IOL with an optical power of 22.0 and 22.0 diopters and 3.5° for 16.0 diopters, decentration – 0.7 mm and 1.0 mm. The inclination of the TIOL relative to the horizontal plane revealed the induction of the magnitude of inverse astigmatism, according to an increase in the inclination angle of 0.3 diopters at a slope of 3–4°. Conclusions. The tilt and decentration of the aspherical and TIOL patterns induce astigmatism depending on the increase in IOL power. The inclination of the TIOL in relation to the horizontal plane set at 90 ° promotes the induction of astigmatism. Key words: astigmatism, toric intraocular lenses, tilt and decentration of the intraocular lens, ray tracing

<b><i>Background:</i></b> The aim of the study was to analyze the objective optical properties of 2 enhanced depth of focus (EDoF) intraocular lenses (IOLs) using optical bench analysis. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This experimental study investigates 2 new EDoF IOLs, the Alcon AcrySof IQ Vivity and the Bausch &amp; Lomb LuxSmart Crystal, on the optical bench, using OptiSpheric IOL PRO2 (Trioptics, Germany) in order to assess the optical quality according to ISO 11979 with ISO-2 Cornea. IOLs (power 22.0 D) were evaluated regarding modulation transfer function (MTF) at 50 lp/mm and Strehl ratio (SR) using a 3.0-mm and a 4.5-mm aperture. In addition, wavefront measurements were obtained using WaveMaster® IOL 2 device (Trioptics, Germany), and USAF targets were analyzed. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Centered: the MTF (mean) at 50 lp/mm (AcrySof IQ Vivity/LuxSmart Crystal) with 3.0 mm aperture was 0.250/0.257 and with 4.5 mm aperture 0.202/0.243. The SR (mean) with 3.0 mm aperture was 0.261/0.355 and with 4.5 mm aperture 0.176/0.206. Decentered by 1 mm: the MTF (mean) at 50 lp/mm (AcrySof IQ Vivity/LuxSmart Crystal) with 3.0 mm aperture was 0.266/0.247 and with 4.5 mm aperture 0.126/0.215. The SR (mean) with 3.0 mm aperture was 0.272/0.234 and with 4.5 mm aperture 0.133/0.183. Tilted by 5 degree: the MTF (mean) at 50 lp/mm (AcrySof IQ Vivity/LuxSmart Crystal) with 3.0 mm aperture was 0.221/0.360 and with 4.5 mm aperture 0.214/0.229. The SR (mean) with 3.0 mm aperture was 0.232/0.428 and with 4.5 mm aperture 0.225/0.229. The simulated visual function using USAF test targets showed corresponding qualitative results. Wavefront measurements proved a complex optical design. Higher order aberrations in the central part of the optics were modulated up to the 10th order to enhance the range of functional vision to near distance, leaving the peripheral parts of the optics aberration free or as aberration correcting. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The diversity of EDOF IOLs, their optics, and their respective impact on the vision quality must be understood in order to select the appropriate IOL in each individual case. This analysis of new, innovative IOL optics based on increased negative spherical aberration may help the ophthalmic surgeon to select the IOL which meets the individual requirements of the patient for best postoperative outcomes. It seems that there is no perfect IOL that is equally suitable for all patients, but the right choice is an individual, customized approach dealing with patients’ expectations.
