The explanted inlay was returned to the manufacturer and subjected to visual microscopic inspection and dimensional analysis.The edge thickness and diameter were measured and found to be within specifications.Tears, cuts, and debris were observed on the surface of the inlay, but these findings are consistent with findings for corneal inlays that have been explanted since surgical instruments are required to remove the device from the eye and place it in a hydrated storage container for transport.The device history record review of the manufacturing lot was performed and there were no discrepancies or unusual findings related to the reported issue.Corneal haze and visual disturbances are listed in the device labeling as known potential risks.(b)(4).
