On bench evaluation of intraocular lenses: performance of a commercial interferometer

NIMO-TEMPO is a metrology device that measures all types of intraocular lenses available in the ophthalmic market. Its technology, based on interferometry, captures the wavefront of the lens to compute optical results essential to evaluate its quality and understand its characteristics. This study aims to demonstrate the reliability of this device and its associated software, TEMPO-MENTOR, in measuring intraocular lenses. The analysis is based on comparing the theoretical results of the optical design and data computed by the device algorithm. Results provided with NIMO-TEMPO are also validated using another metrology device.
