It was reported on a johnson and johnson social media account that after an intraocular lens (iol) was implanted in the left eye (os), the lens "de-centered itself." the patient is not able to "see near or far." the patient reported now having to see a retina specialist and go through a long surgery.No further information was provided.Through follow-up with the patient, it was learned that the symptoms of being unable to focus os began immediately after surgery.The patient noted, "it was not blurry, but could not focus" and cannot "see near or far." when the patient returned to the doctor two days later, the os was dilated and it was noticed that the iol was dislocated to the right nasally.The patient reported that ¿the cataract seemed more difficult to remove" and the surgery seemed to "go differently" then how it went with the right eye, with which there was no issues.The doctor did not provide the patient with any information regarding any issues during or after surgery.The patient reported that there were no surgical interventions or injury to the eye that the patient is aware of and the patient did not develop any infection.There has been no traumatic injury to the eye.The patient reported having to close one eye when driving because of not being able to focus, being unable to read now, and requires glasses for any close work.The patient is scheduled for an explant on (b)(6) 2022 with a different doctor, who advised the patient that the surgery would be longer, because "it is not easy to fix," but would not tell the patient what the issue is.The patient was referred to a retinal specialist to check the left eye prior to the explant, and the patient reported the eye is healthy and retina is fine.The iol remains implanted at this time.No further information was provided.

Corrected data: in the initial mdr section b1 was inadvertently indicated as "adverse event" and section b2 was indicated as "other serious injury".However, at that time the event was considered only a product problem, therefore, in section b1 product problem should have been indicated and b2 left blank.Through follow-up, it was confirmed that the patient had a lens exchange completed.Therefore, b1 adverse event now applies, and section b2 required intervention also now applies.The patient had a follow-up appointment scheduled to remove the "stitch" put in the eye.The patient reported that everything went well with the explant and the patient is now able to see.The following fields have been updated accordingly: section b1: addition of product problem, section b2 required intervention.Section d6b: if explanted, give date: (b)(6) 2022.All pertinent information available to johnson & johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
