Abstract
Night Driving: Do Aspheric IOLs Offer Advantages?
Holzer M. P., Auffarth G. U., Vargas L. G., Reuland A. J., Becker K. A., Völcker H. E.
Heidelberg Research Group Intraocular Lenses and Refractive Surgery, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Heidelberg
Purpose: Following phacoemulsification and implantation of intraocular lenses contrast sensitivity and night driving ability is often reduced.
Method: After implantation of an aspheric intraocular lens we examined following the DOG guidelines contrast and glare sensitivity in 19 eyes.
Results: 53% of the patients fulfilled the DOG contrast sensitivity night driving guidelines. Less than 10% however fulfilled the glare sensitivity guidelines.
Conclusions: Contrast sensitivity is often reduced in older patients or after cataract surgery due to aberrations in the optical system. Aspheric intraocular lenses may help to improve contrast sensitivity.
