Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committees has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee
SC 7, Ophthalmic optics and instruments.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 11979-2:2014), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— A new category of simultaneous vision IOLs (SVIOL) is introduced for non-accommodating
lenses that provide simultaneous vision at multiple distances. It includes multifocal IOLs (MIOL),
extended depth of focus IOLs (EDF), and full visual range IOLs (FVR);
— Dioptric power, imaging quality, and characterization clauses and annexes were modified to include
requirements for SVIOLs;
-1 -1
— Respective units of mm and degree were adopted for linear and angular spatial frequencies per
ISO 9334;
— The resolution efficiency and associated annex have been removed from the this document due to
advancements in optical designs and the availability of modulation transfer function (MTF) imaging
quality measurement methods;
— A new normative annex, Annex C IOL – Characterization, has been added with associated
requirements for all IOL categories;
— Clarified description of UV cut-off wavelength;
— References were added to the bibliography.

Introduction
This part of ISO 11979 initially addressed monofocal IOLs and now includes the optical requirements
and test methods for monofocal, toric, simultaneous vision, and accommodating IOLs. This document
generally provides specific test methods and requirements connected to the optical function of
intraocular lenses. In some cases, test methods do not have specified requirements, including 1) the
spectral transmittance test that provides information related to UV transmission and potential exposure
situations, e.g., when using laser light sources for diagnosis and treatment; 2) optical characterization
testing that informs potential optical design risks and guide potential clinical investigation design. The
specified dioptric power and imaging quality limits result from the analysis of extensive interlaboratory
testing of the original spherical monofocal IOLs. Based on these studies, the respective dioptric power
repeatability and reproducibility were about 0,5 % and 1 %, respectively, of the dioptric power as
described in reference [1]. Additionally, for IOLs in the 10 D to 30 D range, the respective expected
imaging quality repeatability and reproducibility were 0,09 and 0,16 modulation transfer function
values as described in reference [2]. For other non-monofocal IOL designs, manufacturers should utilize
model-specific repeatability and reproducibility precision limits to establish reliable final release
criteria.
During the interlaboratory testing, some problems were encountered with measuring dioptric power,
as described in reference [1]. Specifically, the accuracy in determining dioptric power has an error that
is not negligible in relation to the half dioptre steps in which intraocular lenses are commonly labelled.
