Table 2.
Difference in parameters between ARTISAN® and ARTIFLEX® pIOLs: The most notable point is the difference of transmission of VL, 360–400 nm wavelength between the two lenses.
| ARTISAN® | ARTIFLEX® | |
|---|---|---|
| Spectral transmission | VL blocked | Not VL blocked |
| Incision size during operation (mm) | 6.5 | 3.2 |
| Refractive index | 1.49 | 1.43 |
| Lens material of optical zone | Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) | Silicone |
| Spherical aberration (Z4 0) | — | Lower than ARTISAN®* |
*Spherical aberration (Z4 0) is not measured by the manufacturer, but based on the ref.30. pIOL, phakic intraocular lens. VL, violet light.
