The aim of this laboratory study was to evaluate a newly launched hydrophobic, acrylic, polyfocal, refractive intraocular lens with a new optical design and geometry. This polyfocal IOL has three different zones (within the optic) with radially asymmetric design. Methods: We performed optical bench tests to calculate the optical characteristics of the sample. The optical performance and quality of IOLs based on ISO 11979-2 and 11979-9 requirements were analyzed with the NIMO TR0815 (Lambda-X). In addition, optical quality metrics were evaluated with the IOLA MFD device (Rotlex). Sphere, Add, modulation transfer function (MTF), the energy distribution between the modes and the MTF along the whole range from far to near were analyzed. Results: The power histogram showed that the tested IOL has the characteristics of a polyfocal IOL with a wide range of optical power between 20.5 and 24.5 diopters. Two distinct peaks were observed, indicating bifocal functionality. In the radial and axial power surface map, all three zones, stated by the company, could be detected. Larger apertures lead to a significant increase in MTF at the far peak, indicating better visual acuity for distant objects under low-light conditions. It was observed that in small aperture sizes, intermediate vision seems to be dominant. The energy distribution remained almost constant with increasing aperture size. Conclusions: This laboratory study was able to confirm the properties of the polyfocal lens stated by the company. Three optical zones could be identified. However, further optical bench tests should be performed to evaluate the new lens under tilted and decentered conditions. Clinical studies have to confirm that the presbyopia-correcting, polyfocal lens can achieve good clinical results with high patient satisfaction without disturbing side effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vision8040066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,14]],"date-time":"2024-11-14T09:14:31Z","timestamp":1731575671000},"page":"66","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Optical Bench Evaluation of a Novel, Hydrophobic, Acrylic, One-Piece, Polyfocal Intraocular Lens with a \u201cZig-Zag\u201d L-Loop Haptic Design"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6341-9069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas F.","family":"Borkenstein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Borkenstein & Borkenstein Private Practice, Privatklinik der Kreuzschwestern Graz, Kreuzgasse 35, 8010 Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva-Maria","family":"Borkenstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Borkenstein & Borkenstein Private Practice, Privatklinik der Kreuzschwestern Graz, Kreuzgasse 35, 8010 Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3928-1738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pooria","family":"Omidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Ophthalmology, Saarland University, 66424 Homburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Achim","family":"Langenbucher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Ophthalmology, Saarland University, 66424 Homburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/0039-6257(84)90113-9","article-title":"Complications of intraocular lenses.
