Eye model is firstly used to design and assess the performance of intraocular lenses (IOL) with extended depth of focus
(DOF), including aspherical IOL, refractive multifocal IOL and diffractive multifocal IOL. The details of design and
optimization are given, and the optical performance of the pseudophakic eye with the designed IOLs is assessed with the
spot diagram and the visual acuity. For the pseudophakic eye with 3mm pupil, when the spherical aberration is fully
corrected by the aspherical IOL, the best visual acuity reaches 1.2 with a DOF of only 1.4D. Whereas when the spherical
aberration is 0.4λ, the best visual acuity is 0.9 with a DOF as much as 2.2D. With the implantation of refractive or
diffractive multifocal IOL, the pseudophakic eye has fairly good distant and near vision, while the intermediate vision is
worse. Diffractive multifocal IOL diverts 81% of the input light to two primary focuses equally, with the additional 19%
of the light wasted as higher order diffraction. Refractive multifocal IOL diverts all the light to two focuses but the light
distribution varies with the pupil diameter.
