Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.One haptic is broken in the gusset area and the distal area.Both pieces were returned loose in the lens case.The optic is cut in half, typical of insertion and removal from the eye.A power and resolution inspection could not be conducted due to extensive damage.Broken haptic damage was observed.All lenses are 100% inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met company release criteria.Based on our observation, it can be reasonably concluded that the damage is not manufacturing related.Due to the presence of surgical solution and the condition of the returned sample, the damage is most likely related to customer handling.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
