Manufacturer Narrative

The product was not returned.The lens remains implanted.Photos were provided.Clinical evaluation of the photos was provided by global quality customer affairs (gqca).Three slit lamp photos were submitted and reviewed.Two are of low magnification and show a non-dilated pupil.There appears to be extensive deposits upon the visible portion of the iol (intraocular lens) but little else can be ascertained due to the photo quality and small pupil.The remaining photo is post-dilation and is of good resolution and moderate magnification.It is a direct light vertical slit beam focused on the anterior surface of the iol.The photo is significant for diffuse particles that appear to be located upon the surface of the iol and coating the majority of the surface.While the etiology cannot be stated with certainty, the appearance and clinical presentation is not consistent with glistenings or lecog.The appearance is consistent with inflammatory deposits.However, there is no mention of inflammation seen in the anterior chamber nor any patient symptoms suggestive of inflammation.Product history records were reviewed and documentation indicated the product met release criteria.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported issues.The lens remains implanted.Clinical review of the provided photos indicated that the appearance was not consistent with glistenings or lecog.While the etiology cannot be stated with certainty based on the photos, the appearance was consistent with inflammatory deposits.The file will be reopened if new information is provided.There are no other complaints in this lot.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
