Abstract
The value of aspherizing intraocular lens surfaces for the purpose of improving retinal image quality of pseudophakic eyes was investigated. Surfaces were made as conicoids. Changes in primary wave aberrations and refractive errors were found to be proportional to changes in surface asphericity. The optimum asphericity depends markedly on ocular parameters, lens fitting position and how well lenses are centred within the eye. If lenses are not well centred, the asphericity that eliminates spherical aberration may result in poorer performance than that occurring with spherical surfaces. It is suggested that there is no general benefit in aspherizing surfaces of intraocular lenses.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
