Purpose: To evaluate the aberration profile of patients implanted with the Alcon® Acrysof® Acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs).Setting: Dar El-Oyoun specialized eye hospital, Cairo, Egypt. Patients and Methods: Twenty cataractous eyes that underwent phacoemulsification and implantation of Alcon® Acrysof® MA60BM IOL. One month after surgery, all patients had an aberration profile study using the VISX® wavescan system, more attention being paid to the higher order aberrations.Results: Patients showed predominance of higher order spherical aberrations (100%), comalike aberrtions (60%) and trefoil aberrations (40%).Conclusion: Modifications should be made to IOL designs to minimize such aberrations aiming to obtain super vision.
