Light transmission through intraocular lenses with or without yellow chromophore (blue light filter) and its potential influence on functional vision in everyday environmental conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research the factors used to evaluate the light transmission through two types of acrylic hydrophobic intraocular lenses, one that contained yellow chromophore that blocks blue light transmission and the other which did not contain that filter, were defined according to various light condition, e.g., daylight and at night. The potential influence of light transmission trough intraocular lenses with or without yellow chromophore on functional vision in everyday environmental conditions was analysed.

The physiology of scotopic vision, contrast vision, color vision, and circadian rhythmicity: can these parameters be influenced by blue-light-filter lenses?
PURPOSE Evaluation of the potential effects of blue-light-filter lenses on sensory and physiologic factors. METHODS Scientific knowledge on circadian rhythm and scotopic vision will be summarized and potential effects of blue-light-filtering lenses on these parameters will be assessed on a theoretical basis. Clinically relevant studies will also be discussed. RESULTS As far as circadian rhy...
متن کاملPsychophysical Measurements of Luminance Contrast Sensitivity and Color Discrimination with Transparent and Blue-Light Filter Intraocular Lenses
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to measure luminance contrast sensitivity and color vision thresholdfs in normal subjects using a blue light filter lens and transparent intraocular lens material. METHODS Monocular luminance grating contrast sensitivity was measured with Psycho for Windows (version 2.36; Cambridge Research Systems) at 3.0, 6.0, 12.0, 20.0, and 30.0 cycles per degree...
متن کاملAnterior Segment Intraocular Lens
Yellow filters for the eye have been of interest to ophthalmologists and optometrists for the last 30 years. Certain fish species can change the colour of the cornea in response to the level of illumination and regulate the amount of short-wavelength light reaching the retina. A positive influence of yellow eye filters on reduction of chromatic aberration has been found in a fish eye model. Blu...

METHODS: Patients with senile monocular cataract were randomly assigned to receive either a blue light-filtering aspheric IOL (Aspira-aAY group), its clear aspheric counterpart (Aspira-aA group) or the clear spherical model (AS group). The primary outcome measures were visual acuity for distance, intermediate (1 m), near (40 cm), contrast sensitivity under photopic (85 cd2) and mesopic (3 cd2) ...
