Optical performance of the super-reversed intraocular lens

J Cataract Refract Surg. 1992 May;18(3):293-300. doi: 10.1016/s0886-3350(13)80907-8.

Abstract

We compared the aniseikonia, Seidel aberrations, spot diagrams, and peripheral refractive power errors of a schematic eye with a super-reversed intraocular lens (IOL) and with conventional IOLs. The results did not indicate that the super-reversed IOL performs better optically than the other IOLs, primarily because of its poorer on-axis image performance. However, this disadvantage can be overcome by aspherizing the super-reversed IOL.
