Neural adaptation

The image formed on the retina, as it travels through the optic nerve
to the brain, goes through a complex process.

Blurry images come to be perceived more clearly, while overly sharp images are perceived as somewhat softer; the light spread seen with multifocal IOLs can also ease over time through neural adaptation.
Because this mobile model eye study cannot reflect post-retinal neural adaptation, in this comparative study it is important to compare the results against other IOLs, including a monofocal IOL.
