Measurement of wave aberrations of intraocular lenses through holographic interferometry

TLDR: In this paper, the spheric aberration of flat-convex intraocular lenses as measured by a holographic interferometer is discussed, and the results are compared with the technical data on the aberration that such a lens presents.

Abstract: During the last few years, the number of intraocular lenses that have been implanted has grown considerably, thereby creating the need for an exhaustive study of the characteristics of such lenses as image-forming systems. In this paper, the spheric aberration of flat-convex intraocular lenses as measured by a holographic interferometer is discusses, and the results are compared with the technical data on the aberration that such a lens presents. The match between theory and experimentation is good.© (1991) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering. Downloading of the abstract is permitted for personal use only.
