Event or Problem Description
|
|
A physician reported that during implantation of an intraocular lens (iol) a foreign material was found on the back of optic immediately after implantation.A part of it was removed by irrigation/aspiration(ia), but it could not be completely removed.The surgery was completed with the same lens.On the second day after the surgery physician checked a photo, a circular scratch similar to a toric mark was found near the foreign material and it was found that a foreign material that seemed to be scraped from the scratched part remained.There was no effect on the patient's visual acuity and there was no postoperative inflammation at the moment.Additional information was requested and received stating 1mm white transparent fibrous foreign material on the back of the iol, slightly below the center.During surgery, immediately after iol insertion, two pale foreign materials were stuck to the back of the lens along with a 1mm-sized scratch we tried to aspirate it out with ia, and part of it was removed, but it could not be completely removed.Considering the possibility of lens cortex residue, the surgery was completed without any additional treatment.As of the 11th day after the surgery, the material remained unabsorbed.The physician considers that the cause of the problem is either a scratch or a foreign material (lens material) created during the manufacturing process of the iol or during the setting of the iol (for some reason such as protrusions in the cartridge or caused by the surgeon's handling).
