Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology and Vision Science
  • Optical Engineering
  • Human Perception

Background:

  • Presbyopia correction is a growing field, with multifocal solutions becoming increasingly common.
  • Evaluating the visual quality of multifocal designs is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Previous studies have focused on specific designs, but a comprehensive optical and psychophysical comparison is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optically and psychophysically evaluate the visual quality of multifocal vision correction designs.
  • To compare the performance of radial and angular segmented phase designs with varying numbers of zones.
  • To investigate the role of adaptive optics in simulating and assessing multifocal lens performance.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a custom adaptive optics (AO) system with a Hartmann-Shack sensor, deformable mirror, and spatial light modulator.
  • Tested 6 multifocal phase designs (2-4 zones, radial and angular) on 8 subjects.
  • Evaluated optical quality using Visual Strehl (VS) metrics and relative visual quality via psychophysical pattern-comparison tests.

Main Results:

  • Two-zone segmented designs (radial and angular) demonstrated superior performance for both far and near vision.
  • Three- and four-zone segmented angular designs showed better results for intermediate vision.
  • Optical factors largely explained the perceived quality differences across multifocal patterns.

Conclusions:

  • Adaptive optics is a valuable tool for simulating and evaluating multifocal vision correction before manufacturing.
  • The number of zones and their arrangement (radial vs. angular) significantly impact visual performance at different distances.
  • Optical quality metrics correlate well with psychophysical judgments of multifocal lens performance.
