It was reported that during the post-operative examination, the doctor noticed foreign body in the operative eye of a patient.The foreign body looks like a small sharp chunk of plastic.The cataract surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2019 and the foreign body issue was noticed on (b)(6) 2020.This is the second case which the surgeon has had of retained foreign body following a cataract surgery.The doctor does not know the source of the fragment and suspects the cartridge.It was indicated that the possible options would be the cartridge or the outer edge of the intraocular lens.The doctor noted that a fragment of the phaco sleeve would be unlikely the cause as it appears to be clear, not pink.It was reported that the cartridge was discarded and is not available.There was no incision enlargement, no vitrectomy and no sutures required when the lens was implanted during the initial surgery.A secondary surgical intervention was required to remove the foreign material from the patient eye.No additional information was provided.Additionally, it was noted that the surgeons do not routinely inspect every lens before they are loaded into an injector.They will look at it once it is folded and in the cartridge only, in order to see if the folding has been correctly done.Once in the eye and unfolded the lens is always checked/looked at by the surgeon.It was indicated that the viscoelastic (ovd) and the system used were competitor¿s devices.The doctor noted that the fragments themselves are too large to have travelled down the cannula of the ovd so it unlikely to be the source.The surgeon reported that he did get two (2) foreign bodies/foreign material out which he managed to save one of them.No additional information was provided.The surgeon reported that he has experienced this issue on two patients.This report pertains to the event reported with the second patient.A separate report is being submitted for the event with the first patient.
