It was reported that the lens haptic broke when the doctor implanted the intraocular lens (iol) into the patient's eye.The lens was removed and replaced by a second lens whose haptic also broke.The second lens was removed and the patient was left aphakic.A replacement lens would be planned in the near future.Account indicated that there was posterior capsule rupture and the cornea wound was extended to remove the each of the lenses.It was provided that the cornea wound was sutured after the removal of the second lens.The implantation and explantation of both lenses prolonged the surgery time.Account provided that the patient also suffered from blurry vision due to the two defective lenses.Vision pre-operative provided as light perception and vision post-operative provided as counting fingers.The patient was reportedly stable post surgery.No further interventions were reported and no further information was provided.This report is for the second lens in use for this case.A separate report is being submitted for the first lens involved.
