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

Adam Cywinski, Paulina Bazgier
2025

Ninety-one implantations of the Hanita Intensity, intraocular lens, including 34 patients in both eyes were performed over 18 months. In the majority (55 eyes), implantation was performed during refractive lens exchange, and in the remaining 36 cases, it was performed because of cataract. The qualifying examination, apart from the evaluation of standard parameters, included the evaluation of kappa and alpha angles, value of higher-order aberrations generated by the cornea, and pupil size. High postoperative satisfaction due to very good vision parameters (more than 80% of operated patients achieved vision to far distances ≥ 0.1 logMAR in the cataract group and 87% in the refractive lens exchange group, and almost 100% vision to near distances at the level of D-0.5 (Snellen chart) in the refractive lens exchange group) allows us to recommend this lens model in the most demanding group of patients qualified for refractive lens exchange. Statistical analysis showed that patients with the Hanita Intensity lens had significantly better visual acuity to far distances after surgery than those with the PanOptix (Alcon) lens. Conflict of Interest declaration.

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.

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.
