Abstract: | We compared the aniseikonia, Seidel aberrations, spot diagrams, and peripheral refractive power errors of a schematic eye with a super-reversed intraocular lens (IOL) and with conventional IOLs. The results did not indicate that the super-reversed IOL performs better optically than the other IOLs, primarily because of its poorer on-axis image performance. However, this disadvantage can be overcome by aspherizing the super-reversed IOL. |
