Hanita Intensity, a New 5-Focal Intraocular Lens for Cataract and Refractive Lens Exchange Patients: Eighteen-Months Results

Adam Cywinski, Paulina Bazgier
2025

This prospective study evaluated the performance of the Hanita Intensity penta-focal intraocular lens (IOL) in cataract and refractive lens exchange (RLE) patients over an 18-month period. The results demonstrated strong visual outcomes at all distances, with high patient satisfaction and statistically superior distance vision compared to PanOptix.

Purpose:

To assess the visual acuity and quality of vision after implantation of the Hanita Intensity spherical and toric IOLs, and compare the outcomes with those of the PanOptix® trifocal IOL.

Methods:

91 eyes (34 bilateral cases) received the Intensity IOL—55 in RLE and 36 in cataract surgery. Preoperative screening included pupil size, kappa/alpha angles, and corneal HOAs. Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was evaluated for distance, intermediate, and near vision, and compared to a historical control group implanted with PanOptix.

Results:

Distance Vision: ≥0.1 logMAR in 87% (RLE group) and over 80% (cataract group); statistically better than PanOptix (p=0.001).

Near Vision: Almost all RLE patients achieved D-0.5 (Snellen).

Intermediate Vision: Sufficient for reading standard text at 80–90 cm.

Patient Satisfaction: High, with few persistent side effects (e.g., halos) which mostly subsided over time.

Conclusion

The Hanita Intensity IOL provides excellent visual acuity across all distances and demonstrates superior distance vision compared to PanOptix. Its performance is consistent regardless of pupil size, making it a reliable choice for both cataract and RLE patients.

Hanita Intensity, a New 5-Focal Intraocular Lens for Cataract and Refractive Lens Exchange Patients: Eighteen-Months Results

Efficacy, safety, and satisfaction in patients with a functional 5-focus pseudophakic lens 2 years after

Germán R. Bianchi

This ambispective, non-randomized study evaluated the visual performance, safety, and patient satisfaction of the Intensity SL (Hanita Lenses) five-focus pseudophakic intraocular lens (IOL) over a 24-month period. The study included 120 eyes of 60 patients who underwent femtosecond laser-assisted bilateral cataract surgery. At two years postoperatively, patients demonstrated excellent uncorrected visual acuity across far, intermediate, and near distances (binocular UDVA −0.05 ± 0.05 logMAR; UIVA 0.009 ± 0.05; UNVA 0.04 ± 0.06). Visual stability was maintained between the 6- and 24-month follow-ups. Dysphotopsias such as glare and halos were rare and mild. Patient satisfaction was remarkably high, with 95% reporting being "very satisfied" and 100% indicating they would choose the same IOL again. The findings support the long-term visual efficacy and quality-of-life benefits of the Intensity SL IOL.

Clinical outcomes with a new diffractive multifocal intraocular lens optimized by the dynamic light utilization algorithm

Jorge L. Alió et al.

This study assessed the refractive outcomes, optical performance, and quality of vision in patients implanted with the Intensity Hanita diffractive intraocular lens (IOL). The prospective, observational study included 64 eyes that underwent bilateral cataract surgery with Intensity IOL implantation, with evaluations conducted at 6 months post-surgery. Results indicated that 66% of eyes achieved uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 0.10 logMAR or better. The defocus curve showed optimal vision at distance (0.02 ± 0.07 logMAR at 0.0 D) with stable performance through intermediate and near vision ranges (0.11 ± 0.08 logMAR at -1.5 D, 0.12 ± 0.12 logMAR at -2.5 D). Contrast sensitivity remained stable (p ≥ 0.06), and high-order aberrations were low, with a Strehl ratio of 0.12 ± 0.04. Mild halos and glare were reported but did not interfere significantly with daily activities, and the near activity visual questionnaire (NAVQ) indicated high patient satisfaction with near-vision tasks. These findings support the Intensity Hanita IOL’s effectiveness in providing clear vision across all distances through a five-foci distribution design that enhances depth of focus.
