Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
In the human phakic eye, the shape of the normal cornea induces average positive spherical aberration and remains unchanged over time, whereas the crystalline lens has a negative spherical aberration. As a result, overall spherical aberration in the young eye is low.
However, the compensation slowly decreases with the aging lens and is fully lost after cataract extraction and implantation of a standard intraocular lens.
Optical studies showed that conventional biconvex spherical intraocular lenses add their intrinsic positive spherical aberration to the positive spherical aberration of the cornea resulting in image imperfection and blur. As a useful side effect, this also increases the depth of focus -often referred to as pseudo-accommodation.
New Aspheric intraocular lenses designs currently in use impart negative spherical aberration, about 0.17 to 0.20 microns of negative spherical aberration. This added negative spherical aberration partially corrects the average amount of corneal positive spherical aberration \& compensate for its effect. Our study will include (FocusForce foldable aspheric intraocular lens, Bausch \& Lomb, New Jersey, USA) as an example of this type of negative spherical aberration intraocular lenses.
In order to improve retinal image quality without compromising depth of field, or introducing other aberrations, aberration-free aspheric intraocular lenses were developed with no inherent spherical aberration.
The other intraocular lens targeted in our study (Akreos AO Microincision lens, Bausch \& Lomb, New Jersey, USA) is an example of this type of IOLs.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
On the other hand, Wave front analysis of the ocular optical system has increased our knowledge of the aberrations in the eye. The importance of measuring optical aberrations lies not only in the presence of natural aberrations in the human eye, but also in its usefulness for evaluating individual surgical outcomes. By using Zernike polynomials, the aberrations of the ocular system can be characterized. Zernike coefficients of the higher-order aberrations can be derived from corneal topographic data. And for those generated by the whole optical system of the eye can be derived from aberrometry.
With current small-incision cataract surgery, it has been reported that the average postoperative corneal topography does not differ significantly from average preoperative corneal topography, so in our study we will focus on the ocular \& internal wave front changes.
With the high resolution pyramid wavefront sensor incorporated in (SCHWIND PERAMIS®, topography and Aberrometry, Kleinostheim, Germany) we will evaluate and compare the total ocular wave front and the corneal wave front in our study to identify and estimate the internal aberrations . This new sensor uses an extended source instead of a point-like source avoiding in this manner the oscillation of the pyramid.
SCHWIND PERAMIS evaluates the ocular wave front aberrations with 45,000 measuring points - without any overlap and with clear assignment of each point \& records 33 images per second and automatically selects the image with the best measurement. Together with real-time measurement, this ensures a new level of detail resolution and precision. SCHWIND PERAMIS can also be used to compare a patient's corneal and ocular wave front data. The direct comparison provides information about whether a visual defect is located on the surface of the cornea or within the eye itself, thus allowing us to identify and evaluate internal aberrations.
