Event Description
|
It was reported as the scrub nurses noticed some resistance when the intraocular lens (iol) was primed and similarly, there was resistance as the doctor was injecting the iol into the patient's right eye.After injecting the iol the doctor noticed the iol had a tear at one of the optic edges and centrally had a scratch in the central optic.The lens was cut and explanted and a new iol with the same model and diopter was implanted during the same procedure.It was stated that the patient has significant cornea edema and temporal iris atrophy and trauma secondary to iol explantation.The wound had to be enlarged to remove the cut iol.Since the patient was elderly, the doctor sutured the wound as a precaution to prevent wound compromise if the patient rubbed her eye.The patient has endothelial damage from the iol explantation.The doctor is treating the patient with drops to treat corneal edema.If it does not resolve, the patient may need a corneal transplant.The doctor stated that he is following the patient once a week.The product is not available for return as the iol was cut in half during explantation from the eye.No other information was provided.
