It was initially reported by the patient (pt), that after the iol was implanted in the right eye (od), the lens was refracting light in the peripheral, creating a rainbow prism.After surgery there were ¿some blood and air pockets¿ behind the od.The pt noted the procedure was painful, as the pt was only sedated ¿a little.¿ through follow-up with the pt, it was learned that the visual symptoms fluctuate between a complete circle and half-moon from the left of the iol towards the nose.If the eye shifts right and back again, there are two refractive lights and feels almost as if the lens is moving.There is a flash of light for 2-3 seconds as if something is approaching from the right side.The pt reported no longer being able to drive at night, due to the prism light which comes and goes with streetlights.The pt has trouble reading because of this issue.The issue is worse when not wearing the contact lens.During surgery the doctor performed a manual stitch.The pt looked down after surgery and saw ¿two black dots¿ in vision.The doctor advised that those were two dots of blood.The pt had "air pockets" that are no longer there.Through follow-up with a representative at the surgical center, it was learned that the pt had a planned kahook dual blade (kdb) goniotomy during the implant surgery to relieve eye pressure, which is why the suture was performed.The pt's pupil was round and iol was stable and centered.There was no issue with the lens.Through follow-up with the surgeon, it was learned that the pt has pre-existing glaucoma which is why the patient had a planned combo procedure of cataract surgery and kdb goniotomy.The suture was unplanned, as the pt¿s wound was not sealing appropriately so the suture was placed.The pt is highly myopic with very long eyes.The surgeon reported that the pt is experiencing symptomatic positive dysphotopsia and it is not due to any defect with the iol.The pt has a "little residual astigmatism" but has 20/20 visual acuity with a toric contact lens.The surgeon reported that with the goniotomy it is possible to have some blood in anterior chamber, but was unable to confirm the patient's issue.The issue resolved without medical or surgical intervention and the surgeon confirmed it was not attributed to the implanted iol.The surgeon was unable to confirm the reported ¿air pockets¿ behind the eye.There were no surgical complications, no patient injury, and no additional surgical or medical intervention required.There have been no subsequent procedures.No surgical intervention is currently planned for the od.No further information was provided.

If explanted, give date: not applicable, as the iol remains implanted.The intraocular lens (iol) is not returning for evaluation as it remains implanted; therefore, a failure analysis of the complaint device cannot be completed.A review of the device history record, complaint trending, and risk documentation for this device will be performed.Upon completion of the review, if there is any further relevant information a supplemental medwatch will be filed.(b)(4).All pertinent information available to johnson & johnson surgical vision, inc.Has been submitted.
