Higher-order aberrations after implantation of iris-fixated rigid or foldable phakic intraocular lenses

Artiflex pIOL implantation decreased spherical aberration, while Artisan pIOL implantation increased spherical aberration. Trefoil-y increased in both groups. These changes might be explained by incision size differences in relation to trefoil and differences in optic design in relation to spherical aberration.
