Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the differences between two extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses, the Alcon IQ Vivity and the Bausch & Lomb LuxSmart and to compare them with a simple monofocal lens, the Alcon IQ, using a simulation-based approach. Methods A mathematical lens model was created for each lens type based on a measured surface geometry. The lens model was then used in a raytracer to calculate a refractive power map of the lens and a ray propagation image for the focal zone. Results The simulations confirm the enhanced depth of focus of these two lenses. There are apparent differences between the models. For the Vivity, more light is directed into the far focus in low light conditions, whereas the LuxSmart behaves more pupil independent and prioritizes intermediate vision. Conclusions The simulation-based approach was effective in evaluating and comparing the design aspects of these lenses. It can be positioned as a valuable third tool for lens characterization, complementing in vivo studies and in vitro measurements. Translational Relevance With this approach not only focusing on the resulting optical performance, but the underlying functional mechanisms, it paves the way forward for a better adaptation to the individual needs and preferences of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years intraocular lenses (IOLs) for correcting presbyopia have been significantly improved and diversified. There are currently many different IOL models based on a wide variety of optical designs. OBJECTIVE The wide variety of available IOL solutions to correct presbyopia can be challenging for surgeons and patients. In everyday practice, the question is which IOL is best for which patient. MATERIAL AND METHODS This overview describes and categorizes the currently available implants. The respective optical properties are analyzed and clinical study results are discussed, in particular those evaluating visual performance and the occurrence of photic phenomena. RESULTS Monofocal-plus IOLs provide improved intermediate visual acuity with optimal distant visual acuity and minimal photic phenomena. Extended depth of field (EDoF) IOLs extend the depth of field through different optical principles and provide good distant and intermediate visual acuity. Trifocal lenses enable the greatest independence from spectacles at the price of a higher probability of dysphotopsia. CONCLUSION The selection of the most suitable IOL for correction of presbyopia requires a balance between the patient's visual needs and possible side effects. An adequate knowledge of the currently available implants allows a patient-oriented selection of IOLs.

Abstract
Intraocular lenses (IOL) featuring complex optical designs can pose a challenge in understanding their performance, which may hinder making an informed decision when selecting suitable lenses for patients. This underlines the importance of collecting optical quality data of IOLs and making them available. The deployment of benchtop systems for IOL testing offers not only insights into the design features of various IOL solutions but also provides a platform for objective comparisons of special optics designs, including information about their susceptibility to photic phenomena. Recent advances in IOL testing have improved the ability to predict functional effects on visual acuity and contrast sensitivity from objective optical quality metrics. This, for instance, can be used to study monofocal lenses and the impact of asphericity on vision and IOLs tolerance to misalignment. Monofocal-plus IOLs consistently show only a slight improvement in the depth of focus when tested on the optical bench and in clinical settings. Although the pupil dependence found in this technology may limit the advantages of monofocal-plus over standard monofocal technology to extend the range of vision, it is the key to reduce photic phenomena. Refractive and diffractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs can effectively enhance intermediate vision, with the latter offering a slightly broader depth of focus but potentially increasing the risk of dysphotopsia. However, the limitation of EDOF IOLs is that they often fail to deliver spectacle independence for reading, which can be overcome by trifocal technology. Still, the available trifocal IOLs differ in their location of intermediate and near foci and the susceptibility to produce glare effects. Therefore, the knowledge from optical benchtop testing of IOLs can support optimizing the IOL selection by aligning the patient's visual needs with the IOL's properties, setting the right expectations, and assessing the risk profile for the occurrence of photic phenomena, potentially leading to improved decision-making.

Optical power profiles and aberrations of a non-diffractive wavefront-shaping extended depth of focus intraocular lens. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2024:10.1007/s00417-024-06469-y. [PMID: 38597962 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-024-06469-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study is to evaluate the optical characteristics of a non-diffractive wavefront-shaping intraocular lens which incorporates surface refractive modifications for shaping the wavefront in order to achieve extended depth of focus (EDoF) and to assess whether the nominal power of this IOL influences the attainable add power. METHODS A commercially available optical bench NIMO TR1504 device (LAMBDA-X, Nivelles, Belgium) was employed to obtain full optical characterization of three non-diffractive EDoF intraocular lenses with + 10 D, + 20 D, and + 30 D powers. After NIMO measurements, data were computed using a custom-made MATLAB program (Mathworks, Inc., Natick, MA, USA) to evaluate the optical quality functions, such as the point spread function (PSF), wavefront profiles, and modulation transfer function (MTF) for two pupil sizes: 3 mm and 4.0 mm. RESULTS The non-diffractive EDoF intraocular lens showed a central serrated power profile behavior with additions of + 2.00 to + 2.50 D over the nominal power. Higher order aberrations were found to be driven mainly by the spherical aberration, with almost null comatic influence. Optical quality metrics showed good values, better for a 3 mm pupil compared to a 4.5 mm one, as expected. The three IOL powers tested showed a very similar behavior in terms of power and aberrometric profiles, with minimal to null differences related to the nominal power. CONCLUSION The non-diffractive wavefront-shaping EDoF intraocular lens achieves a near addition up to + 2.50 D aiming for an extended range of vision, almost independently of the base power.

Abstract
PURPOSE Limitations of existing diffractive multifocal designs for presbyopia correction include discrete foci and photic phenomena such as halos and glare. This study aimed to explore a methodology for developing refractive extended depth-of-focus (EDoF) lenses based on a periodic power profile. METHODS The proposed design technique employed an optical power profile that periodically alternated between far, intermediate and near distances across the pupil radius. To evaluate the lens designs, optical bench testing was conducted. The impact on visual performance was assessed using a spatial light modulator-based adaptive optics vision simulator in human subjects. Additionally, the effects of pupil size change and lens decentration on retinal image quality were examined. A comparative performance analysis was carried out against a typical diffractive trifocal design and a monofocal lens. RESULTS The proposed design method was found to be effective in uniformly distributing light energy across all object distances within the desired depth of focus (DoF). While trade-offs between overall image quality and DoF still exist, the EDoF lens design, when tested in human subjects, provided a continuous DoF spanning over 2.25 D. The results also revealed that the EDoF design had a slightly higher dependence on changes in pupil size and lens decentration than the diffractive trifocal design. CONCLUSION The proposed design method showed significant potential as an approach for developing refractive EDoF ophthalmic lenses. These lenses offer a continuous DoF but are slightly more susceptible to variations in pupil size and decentration compared with the diffractive trifocal design.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the optical quality and higher order aberrations of four different refractive extended depth of focus intraocular lens (EDOF IOL) models (Lentis Comfort [Teleon Surgical BV], MiniWell (SIFI), LuxSmart [Bausch & Lomb], and AcrySof IQ Vivity [Alcon Laboratories, Inc]) and a monofocal IOL (Tecnis ZCB00; Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc). METHODS An optical metrology instrument (OptiSpheric IOL PRO2; Trioptics GmbH) was used to study image quality metrics of the different IOLs. The modulation transfer function (MTF) was measured at pupil sizes 1 to 5 mm in 1-mm steps. Area under the MTF and simulated visual acuity were calculated for different pupil diameters. Wavefront aberrations were measured with the SHS Ophthalmic device (Optocraft GmbH), which features a Hartmann-Shack sensor. RESULTS All EDOF lenses yielded a simulated far visual acuity of 0.00 logMAR (20/20 Snellen) or better. At the 0.20 logMAR visual acuity level, the EDOF IOLs showed an increased depth of focus of at least 0.75 diopters compared to the monofocal IOL. Pupil dependency was more pronounced with the MiniWell, LuxSmart, and Vivity, whereas the Lentis showed a more consistent behavior at different apertures. The wavefront measurement revealed increased central aberrations for the MiniWell, LuxSmart, and Vivity IOL compared to the monofocal control. CONCLUSIONS All EDOF IOLs demonstrated increased depth of focus while maintaining good simulated visual acuity at the far focus. Pupil dependency differed between the IOL models. The wavefront analysis revealed the complex design of the different EDOF IOLs with several zones with varying aberrations. [J Refract Surg. 2023;39(10):668-674.].
