Effect of an intraocular lens (IOL) with enhanced peripheral vision on gait performance: a pilot study

It was shown that in pseudophakic patients the peripheral vision is decreased compared to phakic patients, reducing the peripheral image quality compared to that of the natural crystalline lens. According to computational and physical modelling experiments, this effect may be due to a higher degree of astigmatism and increased higher-order aberrations (HOAs). The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of a new IOL with improved peripheral vision, on gait performance of patients after cataract surgery, and to compare the lens with a standard enhanced monofocal IOL.
