Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess whether subsurface nanoglistening in hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses affects visual performance.
  • The researchers simulated the impact of nanoglistening using optical design software and evaluated various parameters, including retinal irradiance and light scattering, with different particle sizes and volume ratios.
  • Results indicated that while subsurface nanoglistening led to slight increases in light scattering and reduced peak retinal irradiance, the overall effect on visual function was minimal in the absence of severe retinal issues.
