Introduction

Cataracts are the most prevalent blinding disease in the world. Surgery is the only option for cataracts, and it is the most frequently performed surgery worldwide.

Problem Statement

However, how the patient will see after surgery and what type of replacement intraocular lens (IOL) is the best option cannot be known.

Project Overview

In this project, computational holography will be utilized to develop a holographic vision simulator for cataract patients. This technology can control the phase, size, and shape of the light beam entering through the eye pupil.

Objectives

  • Develop a holographic vision simulator for cataract patients.
  • Create the first cataract simulator for in-vivo testing of multifocal IOLs.
  • Perform clinical studies of the novel instrument on patients.
