Methods and systems for measuring the asymmetrical image quality or image features of an intraocular lens (IOL), design, refractive and diffractive designs, such as IOLs with Extended tolerance of astigmatic effects are provided by through-focus and meridian response. Measurements are taken at various focal plane and meridian positions to allow for determination of areas of better performance away from 0 meridian or the start position and meridian.

A method of wavefront sensing with engineered images is provided with at least one wave receiving system. At least one desired parameter range is designated for the wave receiving system. At least one preliminary engineered image is then simulated to correspond with the desired parameter range. At least one inverse-model is then generated that outputs the desired parameter range by inputting the preliminary engineered image. A training process is then executed for the inverse-model to readily and accurately output the desired parameter range by inputting the preliminary engineered image. At least one measurement engineered image is then received in order to output at least one estimated parameter value for the wave receiving system with the inverse-model by inputting the measurement engineered image into the inverse-model.

An MTF testing apparatus including a plurality of telescopic cameras each mounted at a fixed predetermined position on a camera holder, each camera receiving an image projected by at least one lens of a single device under test. A processor is coupled to the telescopic cameras. is the processor configured to receive image data from every telescopic camera and perform a plurality of MTF measurements, the telescopic cameras are mounted on the camera holder such that every telescopic camera captures image data resulting in an MTF measurement at a different field position of the lens. The camera holder comprises a holding structure and at least two brackets elongated elements projecting between first and second end portions, the end portions being releasably mounted on the holding structure, and at least two cameras are mounted on every bracket and the brackets are individually detachable from the holding structure.
