Abstract

We propose a complete methodology to develop custom monofocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) designs and evaluate their performance on-axis based on an analytical formulation. The analytical formulation was based on Gaussian and primary aberration theory applied to custom (individual biometric data) and realistic (multilayer cornea and thick IOL) pseudoaphakic eye models. Gradient-based optimization algorithms were performed to search for optimal designs. Using two parameters, the best design was obtained by directly minimizing the wavefront variance. We showed, in a case example, that custom designs achieved better final performance than generic IOL designs. Tolerances analysis allowed an evaluation of the implications of the manufacturing errors of the different parameters.

Scheme of cascade optimization steps, using different targets and different design parameters in each step. Radii of curvatures (Ra and Rp) and asphericities (Qa and Qp) were used as design parameters. IOL thickness was set as fixed parameter (custom value of Table 2). The merit function, with the target and design parameters used, is shown in the circular shaped rectangular boxes, whereas the designs obtained in each step appear in rectangular boxes and are labelled with IOL followed by a number code.
