|
A nurse reported following an intraocular lens implant procedure, the patient could not see well reading or distance.Near vision target not near enough for her needs.The lens was later exchanged in a secondary procedure.Additional information has been requested and received which states that this lens issue was discovered (b)(6) 2021.Patient was a contact lens wearer.She was a +2.00 hyperope.She used this left eye for near for monovision.We calculated for her a residual of -1.88 with the barrett formula.She ended up one month post op on (b)(6) 2021 with a refraction of plano-0.75x085 = 20/30.Her surgery was routine with no complications.The lens loaded easily, opened easily in the eye and centered well.Post operatively she complained of decreased near vision.Her original k readings average was 47.46 and post op three months was 47.27 so her lack of near vision was not due to a dramatic change in k readings.The issue there for was simply between the desired and achieved refractive error.
