Wavefront aberrometry: Comparing and profiling higher-order aberrations produced by intraocular lenses in vitro using a physical model eye system and Hartman-Shack aberrometry

Validation experiments using the model eye platform showed high reproducibility and low error. The 3 IOLs had statistically different aberration profiles. Higher-power IOLs had greater differences when analyzed using multivariate techniques. Profiling the HOAs of IOLs may assist in the selection of the most appropriate IOL to maximize visual outcome for a given patient after cataract surgery.
