The lens was returned for evaluation.Solution is dried on the lens.One haptic is twisted in the gusset area and pointing out of the locking mechanism area of the lens case.The optic is split from the edge across the center of the lens.Multiple cracks are observed on the optic.The cracks may be interpreted as the reported complaint of a scratch found on the optic.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified products were used.The reported lens damage was observed.Multiple cracks are observed on the optic.The cracks may be interpreted as the reported complaint of a scratch found on the optic.All lenses are 100% inspected for cosmetic attributes and the damage exhibited by the returned complaint sample would not have met alcon¿s 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).
