The reporter indicated that as the surgeon was attempting to implant a 13.2mm tmicl13.2 implantable collamer lens, -8.5/+3.0/092 (sphere/cylinder/axis) into the patient's right eye (od), the lens tore.There was patient contact with the lens, which was removed intraoperatively on (b)(6) 2019.Lens was not fully implanted.Reportedly, the surgeon was not advancing the icl to the tip of the cartridge.When he pushed the plunger down the barrel, it overrode the icl and trapped the trailing haptics in the tip of the cartridge, taking a "bite" out of the icl.An alternate lens was successfully implanted on (b)(6) 2019.There was no patient injury.Reference mfr report# 2023826-2019-00379 for primary lens.
