Visual axial PSF of diffractive trifocal lenses
Abstract:
The ophthalmic applications of a diffractive trifocal lens design with adjustable add powers and light distribution in the foci are investigated. Axial PSFs of the trifocal lenses are calculated and analyzed as a function of the design parameters and the eye pupil size. The optical performance in actual eyes is also simulated by including the measured ocular wave aberration functions of human eyes in the calculation of transverse and axial PSFs, and Strehl ratio axial variation. The effect of the polychromatic character of natural light has also been considered. The calculus and simulation method of this paper can be applied for the design and analysis of any other kind of diffractive or refractive multifocal contact or intraocular lens.
