Abstract
Purpose. Age-related macular degeneration refers to a retinal disease that induces the loss of central vision and is the most common cause of blindness in people over 65 years of age in the western world. Today’s technology offers various intraocular lenses, which are used to support conventional low vision aids such as collimating and non-collimating magnifiers. Material and Methods. Within the scope of this thesis, three different intraocular lens systems are presented, which are based on the principle of beam deflection and/or magnification. Results. Following a patent and literature search, the systems were simulated using ray trace software in order to reconstruct their functional principle and compare it with each other. Conclusion. With the help of a theoretical model, different fictional retinal defects were simulated and the efficiency of each lens system was evaluated according to their respective properties. Keywords Intraocular lenses, age-related macular degeneration, eye model, Liou & Brennan
