Impact of intraocular lens material and design on light scatter: In vitro study

Purpose To determine the typical in vitro straylight levels for intraocular lenses (IOLs) of different materials and designs. Setting Abbott Medical Optics, Inc., Groningen, the Netherlands. Design Experimental study. Methods Two optical bench setups were used to determine baseline straylight levels of IOLs placed in a saline-filled cuvette: one for forward scatter positions between 0.6 and 3.0 degrees and one for positions up to 22.0 degrees....
