CHARACTERISTICS, FUNCTIONAL MODELS AND SIMULATION OF INTRAOCULAR LENSES: A REVIEW

A review of the mathematical models that predict visual quality of intraocular lenses as a function of the optical quality parameters that characterize them, and a review of the methodologies used for the simulation of vision with intraocular lenses are presented. It is shown that the existing simulation techniques could be useful to evaluate the different models of visual quality in multifocal design intraocular lenses.
