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

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.
