Optics of Accommodating IOLs

Edwin J. Sarver, PhD

1. In the optical model, the total effective accommodation in the pseudophakic eye is due to:

  1. Pseudophakic accommodation
  2. Pseudophakic pseudoaccommodation
  3. A and B

2. The calculated pseudophakic accommodation due to lens position is most dependent upon which of the following variables:

  1. Corneal power
  2. IOL power
  3. Expected lens position

3. Use the approximate paraxial pseudophakic accommodation power equation (4) to estimate the accommodation expected for a 20D IOL that is translated 1.0 mm toward the cornea. It is:

  1. 1.0 D
  2. 1.4 D
  3. 2.1 D
  4. 2.6 D
  5. 3.2 D
