Background: 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.
Methods: This experimental study investigates 2 new EDoF IOLs, the Alcon AcrySof IQ Vivity and the Bausch & 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.
Results: 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.
Conclusion: 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.

This laboratory study aims to assess the effects of misaligning different trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) under varying spectral and corneal spherical aberration (SA) conditions. With an IOL metrology device under monochromatic and polychromatic conditions, the following models were studied: AT ELANA 841P, AT LISA Tri 839MP, FineVision HP POD F, Acrysof IQ PanOptix, and Tecnis Synergy ZFR00V. The SA was simulated using an aberration-free and average-SA cornea.

This study presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a wide field-of-view (FOV) metalens optimized for capsule endoscopy. The metalens achieved a 165° FOV with a high modulation transfer function (MTF) of 300 lines per millimeter (lp/mm) across the entire FOV, operating in the near-infrared (NIR) narrow-bandpass imaging at 940 nm. The performance of the metalens-based system is evaluated using two bandwidths, 12 nm and 32 nm, showing MTF values of 0.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the development of a linac-mounted photon-counting detector (PCD) for image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) that could significantly enhance imaging by improving soft-tissue contrast and spatial resolution compared to traditional flat panel detectors (FPDs).
- Researchers characterized the image quality of the PCD, focusing on parameters like 2D spatial resolution, noise, and contrast, by comparing it with an FPD using various imaging techniques and calibration methods.
- Results showed that the PCD provides a linear energy calibration and better raw contrast in images, suggesting its potential for improved tumor delineation in radiation therapy applications.
