The use of the modulation transfer function to study intraocular lenses

Objective:To study optical design and optical characteristics of intraocular lenses(IOL) by testing their MTF. Methods: Using the Gull-strand I schematic eye, different optical designs for intraocular lenses(IOLs) were implanted. The modulation transfer function(MTF) was tested to assess the wavefront properties of these IOL optical designs. Results: The MTF for different IOL optical designs varied according to the design. Conclusion: Some biconvex and plano-convex IOLs have better image quality.
