Abstract
Retinal phototoxicity significantly increased with age; however, the retinal protection by IOLs was independent of age. The interaction between the transmission curve of IOLs and light sources required inclusion of widely used lamps besides sunlight for evaluation of IOLs. For the 420 to 480 nm wavelength range, the 3 light sources clearly discriminated the protection provided by IOLs. The AcrySof Natural IOL (Alcon) provided the highest protection consistently for the tested light sources.
