It was reported that za9003 intraocular lens was placed in the patients right eye and then removed as it would not seat correctly due to unstable chamber.Lens removed and replaced with other za9003 lens of same diopter.Vitrectomy was performed.Upon further follow up, it was confirmed that the za9003 lens was removed and replaced during same procedure.The vitrectomy was unplanned and the reason for performing vitrectomy was that the patient had a posterior capsular tear that was noted at the time of cortical removal.The doctor removed the rest of the cortex and planned to put in a za9003 lens in the ciliary sulcus.As the lens was being injected, he noticed that the leading haptic was kinked.The kinked leading haptic went through the tear in the posterior capsule and he cut out the lens due to the kinked haptic.The doctor was concerned that there might have been some vitreous prolapse from the haptic going through the tear in the posterior capsule, so he performed a limited anterior vitrectomy before placing another za9003 in the ciliary sulcus.Doctor enlarged 2.4mm incision to allow the injection of the za9003 lens.He placed sutures in the main wounds and the paracentesis at the end of the case.Patient had a pre-existing condition like he had a primary open angle glaucoma for which doctor placed a hydrus microstent.There were no other injuries and patient was doing well at her last visit with the sulcus za9003 lens in good position.No other information was provided.
