Abstract
AbstractThe optical quality of the images formed by the eye in the retina imposes a physical limit to our vision. For decades, the eye's optics has been mainly studied on axis, typically at the fovea where the eye has its maximum spatial resolution. However, beyond the fovea, the quality of the eye in the periphery of the retina presents special characteristics. It was discovered that the crystalline lens have a protective effect for the peripheral optics that was missed after cataract surgery when intraocular lenses were implanted. In this talk, I will revise the state of the art of this area with special emphasis in the results of my lab including the design and clinical result of a new intraocular lens with an inverted meniscus shape to improve peripheral optics in pseudophakic patients.
