Abstract
Entage ratio of the actual resolving power of a lens to that of a perfect lens of the same focal length which is only limited in resolution by diffraction. The lenses ranged from 29% to 58% resolution efficiency in air. No lenses exhibiting multiple images were included. All 31 lenses achieved at least 73% resolution efficiency in water, and one lens achieved 82%. Based on these findings, a biconvex silicone lens that exceeds 30% resolution efficiency in air and does not produce multiple images can perform near its diffraction limit when implanted in the eye. 4Hermann Eye Center, 6411 Fannin, Houston, Texas 77030.
