Activity Outline
Presbyopia multifocal intraocular lenses use ‘tricks of the light’ to increase the range of vision from that afforded by a monofocal IOL. In this article, Dr Madeleine Adams provides a simple primer, comparing the optical functions of these modern optical technologies.
Learning Objectives
- Provide definitions and simple explanations of optical terms frequently bandied around in descriptions of the functions of modern intra ocular lenses (IOLs)
- Interpret key figures used to describe an IOL’s optical function. e.g. Defocus curves, contrast sensitivity curves and modulation transfer curves, and
- Understand why the optics of certain IOL types influences the fit for each patient
