| pubmed-article:8271175 | pubmed:abstractText | Contrast and glare tests were performed on small intraocular lenses (IOLs) using a new eye model, which was based on and about the same size as the Gullstrand eye model. Lenses with a small optic diameter were inserted and retinal images were observed under the operating microscope. Contrast and glare disability tests were done using the MCT-8000 contrast tester and the Miller-Nadler glare tester. No effect on contrast sensitivity attributable to glare was observed, but under severe glare light conditions a faint reflection around the circumference of the optic was found. Questionnaires from patients implanted with small optic IOLs confirmed that this phenomenon was similar to their symptoms. | lld:pubmed |
