- Abstract
Purpose: Any new intraocular lens (IOL) on the market claims to outperform competitors. We aimed to estimate the modulation transfer function (MTF) for different defocus of a novel refractive enhanced depth of focus (EDoF) IOL and the simulated visual acuity over this range of vision. Further, we analyzed the wavefront pattern produced by this IOL to reveal the function of the IOL's optics. Methods: For the novel TECNIS® PureSee® (ZEN00V) IOL, through frequency and through focus MTF were recorded on the optical bench (ISO-2 Cornea 0.28 μm, 546 nm). MTFa and the simulated visual acuity were calculated for different defocus. Apertures of 3 mm and 4.5 mm were applied. Higher order aberrations of the IOLs' optics were recorded and analyzed. Results: PureSee® IOL demonstrated a considerable depth of focus of about 1.7 D at the spectacle plane and a continuous simulated visual acuity over this range of defocus. For the 4.5 mm aperture, near focus depth was reduced, yet far distance MTF was even better. Higher order aberrations revealed increased primary and secondary spherical aberrations. Conclusion: Optical bench results suggest that the new ZEN00V matches the clinical criteria of an EDoF IOL by an increased range of vision and is far distance dominant for an enlarged pupil. This behaviour seems to be due to subtle power changes in the central optics that produce a complex modification of wavefront.
