Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of Three Commercial and Five Variations of IOL Models

arXiv:2510.20015v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This study aimed to simulate the mechanical stability of eight different (three commercial and five variations) haptic IOL models using FEM to measure mechanical biomarkers (axial displacement, elasticity modulus, and stress) under quasi-static compression. The results revealed that a commercial IOL model exhibited a better mechanical response for smaller compression forces than the other models. Conversely, a variation model performed better for larger compression forces. These findings may help in developing more mechanically stable IOL models.
