Refractive, diffractive and extended depth of focus (EDoF) or combination of these principles represent the technology used to obtain this multifocality. Aberrometry makes it possible to study the aberrations induced by MF-IOLs. Among the different optical principles available to measure ocular aberrations, pyramidal wavefront-based sensor (PWS) aberrometry shows the highest resolution with MF-IOLs. Retinal image quality measured by a PWS aberrometer differed significantly according to the technology of the implanted lens. Monofocal and diffractive lenses showed the highest values of far-distance retinal image quality, followed by refractive and EDoF lenses; however, retinal image quality analysed in diffractive lenses appears to be more dependent on residual refractive error. Considering this limitation, PWS-aberrometry could be used to compare diffractive lenses. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to provide additional information about the clinical retinal image quality of MF-IOLs and to help surgeons in the important preoperative selection of IOLs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23073534","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,28]],"date-time":"2023-03-28T06:15:15Z","timestamp":1679984115000},"page":"3534","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["How Reliable Is Pyramidal Wavefront-Based Sensor Aberrometry in Measuring the In Vivo Optical Behaviour of Multifocal IOLs?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5702-8595","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"D\u2019Oria","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Ophthalmology, Department of Basic Medical Science, Neuroscience and Sense Organs, University of Bari, 70121 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1904-1262","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giacomo","family":"Scotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Ophthalmology, Department of Basic Medical Science, Neuroscience and Sense Organs, University of Bari, 70121 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandra","family":"Sborgia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Ophthalmology, Department of Basic Medical Science, Neuroscience and Sense Organs, University of Bari, 70121 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Boscia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Ophthalmology, Department of Basic Medical Science, Neuroscience and Sense Organs, University of Bari, 70121 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Alessio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Ophthalmology, Department of Basic Medical Science, Neuroscience and Sense Organs, University of Bari, 70121 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1419","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1994.01090230033017","article-title":"Improved visual function and attenuation of declines in health-related quality of life after cataract extraction","volume":"112","author":"Mangione","year":"1994","journal-title":"Arch.
