Abstract
The present review describes recent advances in application of accommodating intraocular lenses (AIOLs). Standard monofocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) only correct distance vision, while AIOLs are designed to allow both good distance vision and near vision, which is achieved through the contraction and relaxation of ciliary muscles by providing transformation of the axial movement or curvature of the lens. Thus, AIOLs may be a better choice for those patients who demand a higher level of visual performance. Since techniques to analyze the performance of AIOLs have not been standardized, and there is a variety of both subjective and objective methods, it is hard to measure the performance of these intraocular lenses. By evaluating advantages and disadvantages of various AIOLs, and introducing techniques for measurement the performance postoperative, this paper can provide some relative information on choosing the type of AIOLs in the clinic.

Abstract
Presbyopia occurs in the aging eye due to changes in the ciliary muscle, zonular fibers, crystalline lens, and an increased lens sclerosis. As a consequence, the capacity of accommodation decreases, which hampers to focus near objects. With the aim of restoring near vision, different devices that produce multiple focuses have been developed and introduced. However, these devices are still unable to restore accommodation. In order to achieve that goal, dual-optic accommodating Intraocular Lenses have been designed, whose anterior optic displaces axially to increase ocular power, and focus near objects. Although dual-optic accommodating IOLs are relatively new, their outcomes are promising, as they provide large amplitudes of accommodation and a greater IOL displacement than single-optic accommodating IOLs. The outcomes show comfortable near vision, higher patients' satisfaction rates, and minimal postoperative complications like Posterior Capsular Opacification and Anterior Capsular Opacification, due to their design and material.

Abstract
PURPOSE To discuss the various static and dynamic surgical approaches which attempt to give presbyopes good vision at far, intermediate and near viewing distances. CONTENT Static methods broadly adopt the same optical techniques as those used in presbyopic contact lens correction and aim to satisfy the needs of the presbyope by increasing binocular depth-of-focus, often using monovision as well as simultaneous-imagery. Dynamic methods generally attempt to make use of at least some of the still-active elements of the accommodation system. They include procedures which are supposed to modify the relative geometry of the ciliary muscle and lens, or which reduce the stiffness of the presbyopic lens either by replacing it with other natural or man-made material or by subjecting it to femtosecond laser treatment. Alternatively the natural lens may be replaced by some form of intraocular lens which changes power as a result of forces derived from the still-active ciliary muscle, zonule and capsule, or other sources. CONCLUSIONS At present, multifocal intraocular lenses appear to offer the most consistent and reliable surgical approach to surgical presbyopic correction. They have obvious advantages in convenience and stability over optically-similar, simultaneous-image presbyopic contact lenses but this must be balanced against their relative inflexibility in cases of patient dissatisfaction. Dynamic methods remain largely experimental. Although some approaches show promise, as yet no method has demonstrated a reliable, long-term ability to correct distance refractive error and to appropriately change ocular power in response to changes in viewing distance over the normal range of interest.

Abstract
We present a new algorithm for automatic segmentation and detection of an accommodative intraocular lens implanted in a biomechanical eye model. We extracted lens curvature and position. The algorithm contains denoising and fan correction by a multi-level calibration routine. The segmentation is realized by an adapted canny edge detection algorithm followed by a detection of lens surface with an automatic region of interest search to suppress non-optical surfaces like the lens haptic. The optical distortion of lens back surface is corrected by inverse raytracing. Lens geometry was extracted by a spherical fit. We implemented and demonstrated a powerful algorithm for automatic segmentation, detection and surface analysis of intraocular lenses in vitro. The achieved accuracy is within the expected range determined by previous studies. Future improvements will include the transfer to clinical anterior segment OCT devices.

Abstract
We present a biomechanical eye model to induce pseudophakic accommodative movement for evaluation of the focal shift of accommodative intraocular lenses. Therefore, an accommodative intraocular lens (IOL) was implanted into freshly enucleated porcine eyes. The eyes were glued into a mechanical apparatus to expand the ciliar body effectuating mechanical accommodation. An optical coherence tomographer was used to measure positional and geometrical changes of the IOL for different levels of expansion. The expansion unit allowed stretching of the globe of several millimeters. With the biomechanical eye model we were able to simulate the mechanical functionality of accommodation as well as to measure the lens vault and change in geometry. Accommodative vault could only be measured with an intact vitreous, indicating that the vitreous plays an important role for the functionality of accommodative IOLs.

Abstract
PURPOSE We employed an analytical approach to evaluate the key parameters for the potential design optimisation of accommodating intra-ocular lenses (AIOL) and to use these parameters to predict their accommodative performance. METHODS Paraxial thin-lens equations to predict the accommodative performances of single-element (1E) and two-element (2E) AIOLs were developed. 2E-AIOLs with either mobile front or back lens elements were analysed as well as 1E-AIOL for their accommodative performance. A paraxial model including key ocular components (corneal surfaces, pupil and retina) as well as AIOL was used to evaluate the key control parameters and optimal design configurations. A range of variants of the model, representing varying powers of front and back optical elements and with either front or back optical element mobile was tested. RESULTS Optimal accommodative performance of 2E-AIOL is governed by the power combinations of its optical elements; design variants with higher positive front element power produced greater accommodative efficacy, while mobility of the front element contributed more to the accommodative performance than the back element. The performance of 1E-AIOL is primarily governed by the power of the AIOL; the higher the AIOL power, the better the accommodative performance. CONCLUSIONS From an accommodative performance standpoint, the optimal design of 2E-AIOL should comprise a high plus power front element. Considering the maximum potential amounts of element translation available clinically, 2E-AIOLs are predicted to offer higher accommodative performance compared to 1E-AIOL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of an implantable mechatronic microsystem (artificial accommodation system) is a novel approach to restoration of the accommodative capacity of the human eye. One such system, based on the triple-optic approach, has been selected for investigation of its suitability. METHODS Optical modelling of the dioptric apparatus is carried out by means of an optical simulation tool. Postoperative refractive compensation plus at least 3 dpt of accommodation are required. RESULTS An axial shift of 300 microm or less is achieved for the entire range of biometric data ascertained before surgery. In addition, the defined requirements made of optical imaging quality are met. CONCLUSIONS The triple-optic approach is basically suitable for application in the restoration of accommodative capacity. It seems that flexure hinges could be used in association with conducting polymers as actuator material. One question that is still open concerns the deformability of such implants as this relates to minimally invasive corneal incisions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review examines the recent peer-reviewed literature of the past 18 months, with the goal of providing an overview of the pseudophakic lenses designed to provide accommodative action. Accommodative lenses take advantage of axial movement, refractive change and bag filling to provide their effect. Single and dual optic design, as well as unique technologies, were reviewed. RECENT FINDINGS An overview is presented of the various accommodative lenses available for investigation and use. There is positive evidence that current accommodative intraocular lenses provide superior potential for near vision compared with standard intraocular lenses. SUMMARY The available data suggest that accommodative amplitude and pseudoaccommodation are both important factors in the functional ability of accommodative intraocular lenses to provide a range of distance, intermediate and near vision.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe a dual-optic accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) based on theoretical considerations. SETTING University and independent research group. METHODS Ray-tracing analysis using optical modeling software (ZEMAXTM, Focus Software Inc., Tucson, Ariz) in a theoretical model eye was used to analyze lens configurations to optimize the accommodative and magnification effects of axial lens displacement. Finite-element modelling using a commercially available PC-based software package (COSMOS DesignSTAR) was applied to design the biomechanical parameters of the inter-optic articulations and optics. RESULTS Ray-tracing analysis indicated that a dual-optic design with a high plus-powered front optic coupled to a minus posterior optic produced greater change in conjugation power of the eye compared to a single-optic intraocular lens and that magnification effects were unlikely to account for improved near vision. Finite-element modelling indicated that the 2 optics can be linked by spring-loaded haptics that allow anterior and posterior axial displacement of the front optic in response to changes in ciliary body tone and capsular tension. CONCLUSION A dual-optic design linked by spring haptics increases the accommodative effect of axial optic displacement with minimal magnification effect and has promise for improving the performance of accommodative intraocular lenses.

Abstract
PURPOSE To predict and compare the amount of accommodation achievable by pseudophakic accommodating intraocular lenses (IOLs) using optical ray-tracing analysis. SETTING Computational laboratory. METHODS Two-element IOLs (2E-IOL, with mobile front or back optical elements) were compared with single-element IOLs (1E-IOL). Modeling using computer-assisted ray tracing of both IOL types assumed lens elements were equiconvex/equiconcave. The 4 possible combinations of configurations representing a wide range of varying positive and negative power (up to +40 diopters [D]) of front and back optical elements were evaluated. RESULTS The 1E-IOLs offered limited amplitude of accommodation with axial shift (approximately 1.2 D/mm). For 2E-IOLs, configurations with high positive-power front elements returned the best amplitude of accommodation (up to approximately 3.0 D/mm when the front element power was +40 D). CONCLUSIONS Considering the maximum potential amounts of axial shifts available, 1E-IOLs were predicted to provide 1.0 D of accommodation or less and 2E-IOLs were predicted to provide up to 3.0 D to 4.0 D depending on design configuration and amount of axial shift achievable. Potential issues relating to accommodative aniseikonia and spherical aberration have been identified.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the incidence of capsular bag opacification, particularly interlenticular opacification (ILO), in rabbit eyes implanted with a dual-optic silicone intraocular lens (IOL) or piggyback lenses. SETTING John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. METHODS Ten dual-optic study IOLs (Synchrony), 10 control pairs of piggyback silicone-plate lenses, and 10 control pairs of piggyback single-piece hydrophobic acrylic lenses were implanted in the capsular bag of 30 rabbit eyes following phacoemulsification. After a 6-week follow-up, the rabbits were killed and their eyes enucleated. Anterior capsule opacification and posterior capsule opacification were graded on a 0 to 4 scale from a posterior or Miyake-Apple view. Interlenticular opacification was noted in relation to the center of the interlenticular space (periphery, paracentral, and central area) and to the number of quadrants involved. The eyes were then evaluated histopathologically. RESULTS Postoperative inflammatory reaction was similar in all groups. Interlenticular opacification formation was statistically different among the 3 groups of lenses (ILO extension, P = .0013, and ILO extension x ILO quadrants, P = .0023; Kruskal-Wallis test). Pairwise post comparisons of ILO formation showed that the differences between the study IOL group and the silicone-plate lens group were not significant. Interlenticular opacification post comparisons between the hydrophobic acrylic lenses and the study lens or the silicone-plate lenses were significant (P = .002 and P = .001, respectively). Histopathologic examination showed extension of the proliferating cortical material from the peripheral Soemmering's ring into the interlenticular space, causing ILO, especially with the pairs of hydrophobic acrylic lenses. CONCLUSIONS In this rabbit model, ILO was significantly associated with pairs of hydrophobic acrylic lenses implanted in the bag. This study appears to confirm clinical observations that implantation of 2 silicone-plate lenses in the bag is not associated with ILO. There was also a relative lack of ILO with the dual-optic silicone lens.

Abstract
PURPOSE To model the feasibility of an accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) that allows near vision by means of an anterior translation within the capsular bag. SETTING University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. METHODS Model eyes were constructed and analyzed based on experimental data using Code V, a computerized optical design tool. The potential near vision of IOLs of different powers was calculated as they were moved anteriorly within the capsular bag. The conditions under which a spherical lens performs well and when an aspheric design should be considered were determined. RESULTS Accommodation (the dioptric change from the far to the near point) varies linearly with lens movement and is sensitive to corneal and IOL powers. Simple equations were derived and accurately predicted induced accommodation. Retinal image quality varies significantly with pupil size and IOL power. However, image quality is minimally affected by the amount of induced accommodation. CONCLUSIONS From an optical standpoint accommodation with adequate image quality can be achieved by anterior movement of a spherical IOL within the capsular bag.

Abstract
PURPOSE Some debate surrounds the accommodative mechanism in primates, particularly whether the lens equatorial diameter increases or decreases during accommodation. This study has been undertaken to measure the relationship between changes in lens diameter and refraction during accommodation in rhesus monkeys. METHODS Photorefraction was used to measure accommodation, and goniovideography was used to measure accommodative changes in lens diameter in the iridectomized eyes of two rhesus monkeys. Accommodation was stimulated through the full amplitude available to each eye by stimulation of the Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the brain. Dynamic measurement of refractive changes followed by dynamic measurements of changes in lens diameter for the same stimulus current amplitudes allow the relationship between refraction and lens diameter to be determined. RESULTS Lens diameter decreased relatively linearly during accommodation by 0.055 mm/diopter (D), resulting in an overall decrease in lens diameter of approximately 7% of the unaccommodated lens diameter for approximately 12 D of accommodation. CONCLUSIONS The rhesus monkey lens diameter decreases systematically with the refractive change during accommodation in accordance with the Helmholtz accommodative mechanism and in contrast to the accommodative mechanism originally proposed by Tscherning.
