Fig. 6From: Evaluating impact of Nd: YAG laser associated defects on optical quality of hydrophilic and hydrophobic intraocular lenses using visualization of light propagation and USAF test targetsImage showing light propagation. Here, the light beams are reflected from the hydrophobic, unmodified IOL (A) in a regularly style, whereas the same IOL with defects (YAG-pits, n = 5) showing more scattering and splitting of the beam (B). The extent of this effect and impact level is strongly dependent on the position of the defectsBack to article page
