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

Gustavo Goldman
(2024)

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.

Abstract

Background To evaluate the optical performance and safety of a new multifocal lens with a novel optical design
featuring two additional foci (or intensifiers) in patients with cataract and presbyopia.

Methods:

In this single-center, non-randomized prospective observational study, 31 patients underwent implantation
of the new multifocal IOL between March 2020 and November 2021 at a tertiary clinical center in Buenos Aires
and Ramos Mejia, Argentina. Postoperative examinations with emphasis on uncorrected and corrected visual acuity
at distance and near and at two different intermediate distances (80 cm and 60 cm) were performed during the 3
postoperative months.

Results:

Of the 31 patients who underwent implantation of the new IOL, 30 underwent bilateral surgery (61 eyes
in total). At 3 months, all 61 eyes had an uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) of at least 0.15 logMAR; 57 eyes
(93%) had an uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) of 0.1 logMAR and 27 eyes (44%) had an UCDVA of 0.0
logMAR. At 80 cm, 60 eyes (98%) had an uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA) of at least 0.1 log MAR and 48
eyes (79%) had an UCIVA of 0.0 logMAR.

Conclusion:

The new multifocal IOL with a novel optical concept (5 foci) showed a wide range of visual acuity especially
at intermediate and near distances in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Uncorrected visual acuity was excellent
at all tested distances, monocularly and binocularly, spectacle independence and patient satisfaction were high.

Short-Term Visual Outcomes After Bilateral Pentafocal Intraocular Lens Implantation. A Pilot Study

Kepa Balparda, MSc PhD
This study aimed to assess the short-term refractive and visual outcomes following the implantation of the Hanita Intensity SL pentafocal intraocular lens (IOL) in patients with presbyopia. In a retrospective observational review, 20 eyes from 10 patients (70% female) who underwent immediate sequential bilateral surgery were evaluated over three months. Results showed that 100% of patients achieved visual acuity of 20/25 or better for both near and far distances, and 20/40 or better for intermediate distances. The defocus curve indicated excellent visual performance from infinity to approximately 33 cm, allowing functional vision at all distances. Additionally, all patients reported complete independence from glasses. These findings suggest that the Hanita Intensity SL IOL is a safe and effective option for achieving spectacle independence in presbyopic patients.

Comparison of Objective and Subjective Visual Outcomes Between Pentafocal and Trifocal Diffractive Intraocular Lenses

Dr. Bellucci
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.
