Abstract

As a consequence of improvement in intraocular lens (IOL) technology and the wish for presbyopia correction, modern multifocal IOLs are being implanted increasingly more often. The apodized diffractive optic represents a new design among multifocal IOLs. A comprehensive description of this principle with a review of current literature facilitates the understanding and correct application in IOL surgery.
