Resumen: This study aimed to evaluate the mechanical stability of seven different intraocular lens (IOL) haptic designs by using digital image correlation to measure their mechanical biomarkers (axial displacement, tilt, and rotation) under quasi-static compression. The IOLs were compressed between two clamps from 11.00 up to 9.50 mm whilst a 3D deformation dataset was acquired every 0.04 mm. Results revealed that flexible and mixed IOL designs exhibited better mechanical response for smaller compression diameters compared to stiff designs. Conversely, stiff designs performed better for larger compression diameters. These findings may aid in the selection and development of more mechanically stable IOL designs.
