In the current era of presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs), toric IOLs and aspheric IOL technology, the practice milieu is changing. Informed consent takes on newmeaning when the surgeon and the patient decide together which IOL technology represents the best fit for a particular life style and its visual demands. Customizing IOL choice is no longer optional; it is essential to the practice of refractive lens surgery.

Comparison of Wavefront Aberrations, Depth of Focus and Pseudo Accommodation in Patients with Spherical and Aspheric Intraocular Lenses
TLDR
Spherical aberration, pseudo accommodation and depth of focus evaluated after cataract surgery with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation were higher in a spherical group than the aspheric group.
Comparison of Visual Function Between Two Aspheric Intraocular Lenses After Microcoaxial Cataract Surgery
TLDR
Both AcrySof IQ and Akreos MI60 implantation groups showed similar visual functions and postoperative spherical equivalents after microcoaxial cataract surgery.
Comparison of Visual Function Among Aspheric Intraocular Lenses
TLDR
There were no significant differences in visual function except spherical aberration, which was highest in the Akreos Adapt-AO group, which is higher compared with Acrysof IQ and Tecnis ZA9003.
Aspheric intraocular lens in cataract surgery
TLDR
This thesis, by prior publication, encompasses an overview and critical analysis of 6 publications on aspheric intraocular lenses (IOLs) carried out at St. Thomas’ Hospital, Guy’s & St.Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, London between 2006 2012, and demonstrated that the asPheric IOLs significantly reduced spherical aberration, improved mesopic contrast sensitivity and reduced depth-of-focus.

TLDR
Both studied IOLs promoted good postoperative UDVA, CDVA, and refractive results and postoperative spherical aberration was higher for the Acrysof toric IOL; however, this difference did not seem to affect overall visual quality.
