It was reported that the intraocular lens (iol) was loaded into the loader and the cartridge was snapped into place.When the surgeon tried to advance, the lens advanced only halfway into patient's right eye but did not advance further.There was no resistance at any point when advancing the lens and the loader was removed from the eye.After it was removed from the eye, it was observed that the plunger had penetrated the cartridge under the lens.Additional information received revealed that the cartridge had a hole from the plunger and the damage was done on the bottom about 4mm from the tip.However, there was no patient injury.There was a delay of 5 minutes; however, the procedure was completed using a new lens.The patient has fully recovered.No further information is available.
