Simulation of the Effect of Different Presbyopia-Correcting Intraocular Lenses With Eyes With Previous Laser Refractive Surgery

It has been demonstrated that higher order aberrations (HOAs) increase after laser refractive surgery.1 –4 The most commonly affected aberration is the spherical aberration, which increases positively after myopic laser surgery and negatively after laser correction for hyperopia.1–4 It is crucial to know the type of aberrations induced by currently available presbyopia-correcting IOLs for evaluati ng whether their implantation is recommendable in eyes with previous laser refractive surgery that are already aberrated. From a clinical perspective, the outcomes of the implantation of
