Prof. Auffarth Talks About the Evolution of Multifocal IOLs and Hanita Lenses’ Intensity

How have multifocal IOLs evolved through the years? In this interview, Prof. Gerd Auffarth talks about common challenges in multifocals such as the distribution of incoming light, and how newer generation lenses – focusing on Hanita Lenses‘ Intensity IOL – have adapted and found new solutions.

Watch as he explains the Intensity’s Dynamic Light Utilization (DLU) technology and how it guarantees continuous, uninterrupted vision throughout the entire vision range.

See the defocus curve comparison with other lenses in the market and understand why the Intensity has become one of the most used lenses in Dr. Auffarth’s clinic.

Prof. Dr. med. Gerd U. Auffarth, MD, FEBO, FWCRS, is the Chairman and Director of the David J Apple Center for Vision Research, in Germany.

Optical Quality With a New Pentafocal Diffractive MF IOL – Prof. Jorge L. Alió

In this MedTalk from ESCRS 2025, Prof. Jorge L. Alió shares results from a prospective study conducted with 64 eyes that underwent bilateral cataract surgery with the Intensity® Pentafocal IOL. He reports that the 5-foci distribution principle of the lens, meant to provide continuous vision across all distances, is confirmed by the flat defocus curve. Side effects typical of multifocal optics were minimal, supporting smooth adaptation for patients with high

First Clinical Outcomes of Extend™, Hydrophobic Monoplus – Dr. Stodůlka

In this ESCRS 2025 MedTalk, Dr. Pavel Stodůlka presents early clinical outcomes with Hanita Lenses‘ Extend™ monofocal plus IOL. The lens features a hydrophobic, glistening-free material and a Bessel-beam optical concept designed to gently broaden depth of focus. Based on the initial series of 29 patients implanted with Extend™ SL or Extend™ Toric, he reports strong refractive accuracy along with dependable intermediate visual performance. Learn more here.
