Contents Basics of asphericity Visual quality and aspheric IOL Features of HOYA ABC Design 2
What is asphericity? Deviating from the spherical shape or a reflecting surface which by the rotation around a point from the circle by an axial develops. 3
Asphericity The deflect of the sphere form (= spheric) is aspheric form! 4
What is aberration? It is an illusion created by the optical system when viewing an object. We know a lot of different aberrations, e.g. Spherical aberration Chromatic aberration Coma 5
Spherical aberration Abaxial rays outside of the Gaußschen territory (approx. 5 around the axis) will be refracted stronger! Optical axis Spherical aberration Gaußscher territory 6
Chromatic aberration Different index of several mediums determine different chromatic aberrations of the wavelength Chromatic aberration 7
Coma If light rays refract slant on a optical surface, you will get a deformation like the illustration Image Coma 8

Optical system Positive aberration ~ +43 dioptors=2/3 Positive aberration ~+18-26 dioptors=1/3 10
Optical system The abberations of the natural human lens change during life. So the positive abberations of the optical system are increasing with the age. 11

Aspheric lens of the same power has a little bit thinner than the spherical one. Since the thickness of +20 D aspheric lens has thickness between +10 D and +20 D spherical lens, the aspheric transmission curve also lied between these lenses. 25

HOYA Concept / principle: ABC design is a optimized surface by HOYA Lathe-Cut technology for compensation of the cornea aberration with an asphericityof ~ 0.18 µm HOYA ABC design provides always the best image and contrast quality, also in the case of a pupil offset to the capsular bag. (= USP) 31
PSF in the case of Decentration ~ Simulated by HOYA s original settings ~ On optical axis ABC Design Standard aspheric IOL The aberration can be minimized, and the image is sharp (our design is better, because it is under our optimum condition). Spherical lens 0.5mm decentration There is an aberration also on optical axis, which is bigger than the aberration caused by the decentration HOYA aspheric has sharper vision than the other. 32
Effect of decentration on contrast Recent reports for the decentration, the mean value is 0.24-0.53mm. 1) T. Oshika, G. Sugita, K. Miyata, T. Tokunaga, T. Samejima, C. Okamoto, and Y.

However, over 0.2mm decentration, HOYA aspheric has better visual quality. 33

Issues of aspheric IOLs Issues 1. Corneal aberration is different among patients. 2. As ages, corneal aberration changes. 3. Standard aspheric IOL is weak to decentration. Solutions 1.and 2. Calculate theological corneal aberration values which can be adapted to many people. 3. Well centered with IOL design. Minimize the effect of decentration with optic design.
Comparison of visual quality spherical and aspheric IOL YA-60BBR ABC Design Pictures in cloudy late afternoon with aperture of 5mm. Signs in right picture seems clearer and sharper. Especially images at the peripheral zones of the lens are affected by the aberration, and the differences between two can be observed easily. 36
