Event Description

It was reported that the preloaded intraocular lens (iol) would not advance as the plunger rod was going above the lens when advanced and it would not push the lens forward.The lens was actually stuck, fused to the bottom of the injector, almost as if high temperature had melted the acrylic material onto the cartridge.The lens had to be peeled off the bottom of the injector in order to free it from its original position.There was no patient contact.The procedure was completed using another lens of same model and diopter.No further information was provided.
