  • Title: Laboratory evaluation of blended lenticular aphakic lenses.
    Author: Atchison DA.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Physiol Opt; 1988; 8(3):275-86. PubMed ID: 3269507.
    Abstract:
    Six types of blended lenticular aspheric lenses for the correction of aphakia were assessed with respect to mass, spectacle magnification, off-axis power errors, peripheral distortion, visual field size and cosmetic appearance. Relative to spherical surfaced lenses, these lenses showed considerably reduced mass, reduced peripheral distortion, increased visual field size and improved cosmetic appearance. All but one type showed considerably reduced off-axis power errors, but none of the lenses showed much reduction in spectacle magnification. In general, the manufacturers' claims made in favour of the blended lenticular lenses were supported.
