Objective:

To evaluate short-term refractive and visual behavior after implantation of a new pentafocal
intraocular lens to manage presbyopia in otherwise healthy patients.

Methodology:

A retrospective observational study was conducted, in which the postoperative outcome
was evaluated three months after surgery. Patients in whom the Hanita Intensity SL intraocular lens was
implanted in immediate sequential bilateral surgery were assessed. Medical records were reviewed to
collect information on corrected and uncorrected vision, subjective refraction, and defocus curves with
correction.

Results:

Twenty eyes belonging to 10 patients were included. There was a preference for the female sex
(70%). The 100% of patients achieved vision equal to or better than 20/25 in near and far vision; 100%
of the patients achieved a vision equal to or better than 20/40 in intermediate vision. The defocus curve
showed excellent visual performance in the vergences from infinity to approximately 33cm, with functional
vision at all distances; 100% of the patients reported being free of glasses for all distances.

Conclusion:

Hanita Intensity SL intraocular lens implantation is a safe and effective technique for managing
presbyopia. In well-selected patients, it can provide a high proportion of independence in spectacle wear
for distances up to approximately 33cm.
