It was reported that during implantation of an intraocular lens (iol) into the left (os) eye, it was noticed intraoperatively that the trailing haptic was severed.The incision original size of 2.4mm was enlarged to 3.0mm for iol removal.A successful intraoperative lens exchange was performed using a backup iol of the same model and diopter.Sutures were required.The patient did not notice a decrease in vision at the 1 week post op visit.In the surgeon's opinion, the most likely cause of the iol damage was the lens getting stuck between the cartridge and the plunger.The patient's outcome is good.
