A clinical study comparing the new Intensity pentafocal IOL and a trifocal IOL showed that the Intensity IOL provides superior intermediate vision and a flatter defocus curve, with comparable distance and near vision. Patients reported fewer optical disturbances, such as glare and halos, with the Intensity IOL. Further research will clarify the specific benefits of the pentafocal design.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE

To compare the clinical and aberrometric outcomes obtained with a new diffractive pentafocal intraocular lens (IOL) and a diffractive trifocal IOL.

METHODS

Patients bilaterally implanted with the pentafocal Intensity SeeLens IOL (Hanita Lenses) (n = 30) and the trifocal FineVision POD F IOL (PhysIOL) (n = 30) during cataract surgery were studied after 1 month for refraction, visual acuity, defocus curve, contrast sensitivity, Hartmann-Shack aberration, and double-pass aberration. The Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire was used to evaluate visual comfort.

RESULTS

Distance and near visual acuities were similar with the two IOLs, but distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity was better with the Intensity IOLs (0.03 ± 0.04 vs 0.11 ± 0.04 logMAR in the FineVision eyes, P < .01). The difference between objective and subjective refraction was more myopic for the Intensity IOL (-1.15 vs -0.29 diopters [D]). The defocus curve was flatter with the Intensity IOL. Contrast sensitivity was similar in both IOLs. Hartmann-Shack aberration and double-pass aberration were similar, but the modulation transfer function cut-off value was worse with the Intensity IOL: 11.6 ± 2.7 vs 15.3 ± 4.9 (P < .01). QoV scores were better with the Intensity IOL, in particular for glare, halos, and starburst.

CONCLUSIONS

In this comparative series, the pentafocal Intensity IOL provided better intermediate vision and better defocus curve than the FineVision IOL, with comparable distance and near vision. The optical disturbances as reported by the patients were higher with the FineVision IOL. Additional studies will better define the aberration profile obtained with the pentafocal IOL.

Dr. Bianchi Efficacy safety and satisfaction in patients with a functional 5 focus pseudophakic lens 2 years after

Bianchi GR.
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.

Clinical results with a multifocal intraocular lens with a novel optical design

Gustavo Goldman
This study examined the optical performance and safety of a newly designed multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with five focal points (two additional "intensifiers") for cataract and presbyopia management. Conducted in Buenos Aires and Ramos Mejia, Argentina, the prospective, non-randomized observational study included 31 patients (61 eyes) who received bilateral implantation between March 2020 and November 2021. At the 3-month follow-up, all eyes achieved an uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) of at least 0.15 logMAR, with 93% achieving 0.1 logMAR and 44% achieving 0.0 logMAR. For intermediate vision at 80 cm, 98% of eyes achieved at least 0.1 logMAR, and 79% reached 0.0 logMAR. The results highlight the new multifocal IOL’s efficacy, particularly for intermediate and near vision, with high rates of spectacle independence and patient satisfaction.
