Abstract:
There is uncertainty in ophthalmology concerning the quality and spectral transmission of light of so-called blue filter intraocular lenses (IOL). Clinical users have noticed that such IOL's appear to have different color intensities. The discussion on medical changes by means of such IOL's is dependent on the real light transmission of these IOL's. To add some objective data we compared these IOL's by systematic transmission measurements and observed technical differences of diffraction and geometry as well as transmission differences. The result gives objective indications that differences between blue filter IOL's from different manufacturers are important and are detailed in this paper.
