The AcrySof® IQ Aspheric IOL is proven to deliver excellent visual performance, even in challenging conditions. Patients benefit from:
Reduced spherical and total higher-order aberrations
Improved functional vision in all lighting conditions
Enhanced mesopic contrast sensitivity
Over 50 million implants worldwide
Aspheric Design
After analyzing over 700 corneas, the AcrySof® IQ Aspheric IOL was engineered with negative spherical aberration to compensate for the positive aberration of the average cornea. This design significantly improves clarity and overall image quality while reducing aberrations.
Spherical IOL vs. Aspheric IOL
Spherical IOL
Light rays at the lens periphery are over-refracted, causing spherical aberration
Can reduce overall sharpness and image quality
Aspheric IOL
Correctly aligns light rays to compensate for corneal spherical aberrations
Provides improved visual clarity and reduced distortion
Image Quality
The AcrySof® IQ Aspheric IOL delivers a mean ocular spherical aberration of approximately 0.1 μ
Compared to spherical IOLs, it shows a statistically significant reduction in spherical and higher-order aberrations
