Description
Summary:Evaluating chromatic aberration for a multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL) in vitro is essential for studying its performance because it helps determine the most appropriate lens for each patient, enhancing surgical outcomes. While refractive MIOLs with angular power variation have shown positive clinical outcomes, studies of these MIOLs on optical benches primarily employed monochromatic green light, neglecting the impact of longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) on MIOL performance. To address this gap, we evaluated the through-focus modulation transfer function (TF-MTF) and the point spread function (PSF) of two refractive segmented extended depth of focus intraocular lenses (IOLs) (Femtis Comfort and Precizon Presbyopic), comparing the results with those obtained with two widely known diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (AcrySof IQ ReSTOR and FineVision Pod F). Measurements of the TF-MTF were conducted using both monochromatic and polychromatic light in a customized optical bench. The refractive designs exhibited distinct haloes in the PSFs. When comparing the refractive and diffractive designs, opposite signs of LCA were observed at near foci. These findings emphasize the influence of the optical design of IOLs on their performance under polychromatic light, providing valuable information for vision care professionals when selecting the most suitable lens for each patient.
