Second interspace = anterior lens thickness or conventional lens thickness | t2, na = refractive index of anterior lens material |
Third refraction surface = power of back surface of conventional IOL or back surface of anterior lens of the dual-optic IOL | , where na = refractive index of anterior lens material, n′= aqueous refractive index (1.336) and r2 = surface radius |
Third interspace = separation between anterior and posterior lenses in the dual-optic IOL | t3,n′ = aqueous refractive index (1.336) |
Fourth refraction surface = power of front surface of posterior lens of the dual-optic IOL | , where np = refractive index of posterior lens material, n′ = aqueous refractive index (1.336) and r4 = surface radius |
Fourth interspace = posterior lens thickness | t4, np = refractive index of posterior lens material |

Radii are in millimeters with conventional optical science sign nomenclature. The light travels from left to right, and the sign is positive if it is along the ray direction and negative otherwise.
