Grzegorz Łabuz

The research of Grzegorz is centered around the fact that in cataract surgery, once the opacified crystalline lens has been removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), straylight values are significantly lower than preoperative ones. However, they are still higher than expected (i.e., higher than those found in age-matched patients whose eyes have a clear crystalline lens). The reason for this is still unknown. The aim of this study is to measure IOLs’ optical quality both in vivo and in vitro, and to determine sources of increased intraocular scatter in pseudophakic eyes. These results will be used in to simulate visual quality of different optical designs and to model the optical design of lenses to reduce light scattering.
