Visual performance of a new trifocal intraocular lens design evaluated with a clinical adaptative optics visual simulator.

Objective: The digital transformation of daily routines has increased visual demands, especially at intermediate and near distances. The Devil multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL) design was developed to enhance intermediate visual performance. This design is a novel trifocal intraocular lens inspired by the fractal structure known as the 'Devil's staircase'.

Optical Performance of a Segmented Extended-Depth-of-Focus Intraocular Lens under the Influence of Different Values of Spherical Aberration Generated by Refractive Surgery.

Background: Corneal refractive surgery induces high-order aberrations, specifically spherical aberration (SA). These aberrations can have implications when patients later develop cataracts and require the implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs). MIOLs with asymmetric designs pose challenges in predicting outcomes, particularly in these cases.

Comparison of the Polychromatic Image Quality of Two Refractive-Segmented and Two Diffractive Multifocal Intraocular Lenses.

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).

Optical performance of a new design of a trifocal intraocular lens based on the Devil's diffractive lens.

In this work, we propose a new diffractive trifocal intraocular lens design with focus extension, conceived to provide a high visual performance at intermediate distances. This design is based on a fractal structure known as the "Devil's staircase". To assess its optical performance, numerical simulations have been performed with a ray tracing program using the Liou-Brennan model eye under polychromatic illumination.
