When it comes to intraocular lenses for cataract surgery, clinical trials provide an important foundation – but real-world outcomes tell the full story. How well do patients actually see in their daily lives? How independent are they from spectacles? How does their vision impact their quality of life?
In our commitment to delivering innovation backed by real-world clinical performance, we’ve compiled a comprehensive set of real-world results from over 1,300 eyes implanted with Hanita Lenses’ Intensity Pentafocal IOL. This multicenter study, combining retrospective and prospective data, gives a clear picture of the lens’ outstanding performance across diverse populations and clinical settings.
A Comprehensive View of Vision Performance

Extensive real-world evidence highlights how the Intensity IOL performs across key clinical and patient-centered measures. Here’s a glimpse of the insights available:
Defocus Curve: Maintains a visual acuity of 0.1 LogMAR or better across the full range of vision, from distance to 40 cm, with no significant drop in performance.
Comparative Analysis: Intensity demonstrates superior energy utilization compared to modern trifocal IOLs, achieving better optical performance with less light loss.
Patient-Reported Outcomes:
VF14: Patients report little to no difficulty in performing daily activities, reflecting strong functional vision.
VFQ25: A comparative graph illustrates superior patient-reported outcomes for the Intensity Pentafocal IOL versus a modern trifocal IOL.
Visual Phenomena: Real-world data show minimal disturbances such as halos and glare, ensuring comfortable everyday vision.
Comparative Analysis: Intensity demonstrates superior energy utilization compared to modern trifocal IOLs, achieving better optical performance with less light loss.
For surgeons who want more than just technical specifications, this data reveals what truly matters – how patients experience their vision in real life.
Functional Vision: The Metrics That Matter
At the ESCRS Congress 2024 in Barcelona, a major theme was the need for an evidence-based functional classification of IOLs. A key takeaway? Concentrating on functional vision can help surgeons understand the similarities and differences among IOLs, particularly the metrics that truly impact patients.
This is exactly what our real-world results showcase. They provide clear proof that the Intensity IOL delivers continuous vision, high-quality distance and near vision, and greater spectacle independence – all contributing to an enhanced quality of life.
