It was reported that the preloaded intraocular lens (iol) had deploying issue.When attempting to deploy the lens, the injector bulged outwards on the side and the lens was stuck very close to the tip where it bulged.There was contact with patient's right eye.There were no medical or surgical interventions required.Another lens of same model and diopter was used as the replacement.The account used ophthalmic viscoelastic device (ovd) which was allowed to acclimatize fully to operating room (or) temperature.After inserter prep, there was a delay of 2-3 minutes in the surgery before an attempt was made to advance the lens.The lens was not fully deployed until handed off to doctor.The lens initially moved a little, then was stuck which reportedly looked like there was a defect with cartridge itself.No further information was provided.
