Event Description
|
It was initially reported that the intraocular lens (iol) was being inserted into the patient's eye but there was an issue with the trailing haptic.Reportedly, the customer thought the lens was in the patient's eye but when the surgeon removed the inserter away from the eye, the lens was still with the cartridge.No patient injury was reported.In follow-up, it was reported that the lens was inserted into the patient's eye but stuck to the cartridge.As the surgeon was trying to release the lens and pull injector out, the whole lens came back out with it.The incision did not need to be any bigger or was a vitrectomy done.Reloaded the back-up lens and everything went smoothly.Patient is doing fine post-operatively with no complaints.
