Results of using the AssiAnchor capsule device for subluxated crystalline lenses

Shalhevet Goldfeather Ben-Zaken
(2021)

This study evaluated the AssiAnchor capsule device for stabilizing subluxated lenses in seven eyes of patients with Marfan syndrome or trauma. Results showed successful IOL implantation and significant improvements in visual acuity and refraction, with stable lens positioning during follow-up. The device proved effective with a manageable learning curve, offering a reliable solution for subluxated lens cases.

Purpose

To describe our results with the AssiAnchor capsule device in cases of ubluxated crystalline lenses.

Methods

This was a retrospective consecutive case series. Seven eyes of four patients with subluxated crystalline lenses underwent lensectomy/phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation using the AssiAnchor capsule device in the Kaplan medical center, ophthalmology department. Three patients had Marfan syndrome and one patient had experienced blunt trauma. Demographic data were collected as well as parameters of pre‑ and postoperative distance visual acuity and refraction, intra‑, and postoperative complications, and IOL stability and centration. Results: Six out of the seven surgical procedures were uneventful with in‑the‑bag implantation of the IOL. In the first surgery, a tear of the capsular bag lead to IOL exchanging and fixating to the AssiAnchor and to the iris. In the traumatic cataract case, two AssiAnchors were used. A capsular tension ring was implanted in six out of seven surgeries. The average follow‑up time was 9.5 ± 6.8 months. All the IOLs were stable and well centered except for the first IOL that exhibited a slight temporal, but not clinically significant, decentration. The distance visual acuity and the refractive parameters improved significantly in all cases. Conclusion: We found the AssiAnchor capsule device an effective tool with a short learning curve for treating subluxated lenses.

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

Adam Cywinski, Paulina Bazgier
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.

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.
