Measuring aberrations of multifocal and extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses

Studies comparing the optical quality of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in  vivo are proliferating. This increase in popularity is largely driven by the availability of aberrometers in clinical and laboratory environments. However, the approach to interpreting aberrometry results in pseudophakic patients has been insufficient in many cases, especially when considering mul tifocal or extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOLs. In the majority of published studies that compared the optical quality between multiple IOLs and pupil sizes, the authors present the root mean square (RMS) as a fait accompli.
