Visual performance of aspherical and spherical intraocular lenses: Intraindividual comparison of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and higher-order aberrations

Abstract

Although Z(4)(0) was significantly lower in the eyes with the aspherical IOL, no statistically significant differences were found between aspherical and spherical IOLs in LCVA, HCVA, and contrast sensitivity. Statistical analysis of intraindividual contrast sensitivity differences showed that in most patients, this Z(4)(0) difference was too low to have an effect on contrast sensitivity.
