Visualization of Light Propagation with Multifocal Intraocular Lenses Using the Ouzo Effect

Figure 1

(a) Sketch of the experimental setup. A Powell lens is used to expand the laser beam which is collimated in one dimension by a cylindrical lens (CL). A slit stop (SS) is placed behind the cylinder lens to form a rectangular beam shape. The collimated fan is passing the model cornea and the intraocular lens (IOL). (b) The light that emerges in the IOL is scattered in the medium containing ouzo making the light path visible.
