Abstract
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study is to demonstrate the change of higher order wavefront aberrations (HOA) after implantation of an iris claw pIOL. METHODS: Thirteen eyes of seven patients were examined preoperatively and 1 month after implantation of an Artisan lens. The mean preoperative spherical equivalent was -10.69+/-1.92 D (-7.63 to -14.88 D). The diameter of the IOL optic was 6 mm and the lens was inserted though a tunnel incision at 12 o'clock. The root mean square (RMS) wavefront error was computed for all aberrations of the third to fifth order for pupil diameters of 3.5 and 6 mm. RESULTS: On average, HOA RMS changed for a 3.5 mm pupil by 0.037+/-0.089 microm (6 mm pupil: 0.405+/-0.245 microm). Third-order aberrations changed by 0.031+/-0.098 microm (0.320+/-0.269 microm). For both pupil diameters, a notable increase of Z 3,-3 of 0.117+/-0.085 microm (0.596+/-0.350 microm) could be observed depending on the distance between the limbus and incision. Fourth-order aberrations changed on average by 0.018+/-0.037 microm (0.280+/-0.143 microm), namely Z 4,0 increased by 0.025+/-0.034 microm (0.296+/-0.164 microm). CONCLUSION: After implantation of the Artisan lens HOA increased slightly. Particularly induction of Z 3,-3 and Z 4,0 contribute to the increase of HOA. The induction of trefoil ( Z 3,-3) is a result of the incision, whereas the increase of spherical aberration is due to the implant.
