Spatial-energy characteristics of the focal areas of bifocal diffractive-refractive intraocular lenses

Аннотация

Computer simulation was performed for the measurement process of the parameters of MIOL-Akkord bifocal diffractive-refractive lenses in which the central area of the diffractive element is reduced and spherical aberrations of the eye are compensated. The spatial-energy characteristics of an ideal diffractive lens are preliminarily calculated using existing formulas. The simulation of the process of controlling the intraocular lens parameters has shown that the intensity distribution along the optical axis does not characterize the diffraction efficiency, which is the total (integrated) intensity in the beam cross section at the focus. It has been found that due to the mutual influence of diffraction orders, it is difficult to measure the absolute diffraction efficiency and it is better to evaluate only the relative efficiency.
