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.

Corneal Endothelial Health after Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery without Viscoelastic Substance
German R Bianchi, MD; Dr Nano
A study of 1,324 eyes undergoing cataract surgery without viscoelastic substance (VS) showed a 9.4% decrease in endothelial cell density (ECD) and a 1.2% increase in central corneal thickness (CCT) one year after surgery. The majority of changes occurred within the first six months, and no significant complications were reported. The results suggest that phacoemulsification cataract surgery can be safely performed without VS, with minimal impact on corneal health.

Spectacle Independence After Cataract Surgery: A Prospective Study With a Multifocal Intraocular Lens
German R Bianchi, MD
A study of 240 patients who received the FullRange multifocal IOL showed excellent visual outcomes, with 98.3% achieving 20/20 to 20/25 distance vision and 92% reporting spectacle independence one year after cataract surgery. Refractive accuracy was high, with 82.9% of eyes within ±0.5 D of target refraction. Patient satisfaction was notable, with strong near and intermediate visual performance and no reported complications. Future studies with longer follow-up will help further confirm these results.

Results of using the AssiAnchor capsule device for subluxated crystalline lenses
Shalhevet Goldfeather Ben-Zaken, Guy Kleinmann
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.

Visual Performance of a Novel Optical Design of a New Multifocal Intraocular Lens
Eytan Nov, MD
A study of the Intensity SL trifocal IOL demonstrated strong visual outcomes, particularly in near and intermediate vision, with high patient satisfaction and minimal need for spectacles post-cataract surgery. Three months after implantation, patients achieved excellent distance and near visual acuities, with contrast sensitivity comparable to the normal population. The IOL provides a well-balanced visual experience across various distances.

A prospective study of a new presbyopia pseudophakic intraocular lens: Safety, efficacy and satisfaction
German R Bianchi, MD
A study of 56 patients who received the Intensity IOL after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery showed significant improvements in visual acuity and spectacle independence. Six months post-surgery, 94% of patients achieved a spherical equivalent within ±0.50 D, with stable corneal and endothelial health. Patients reported high satisfaction, meeting their preoperative expectations for vision correction.
