Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the surgeon had planned on using a preloaded intraocular lens (iol), model pcb00, as it is their standard practice.However, halfway through phacoemulsification, a small capsule tear was observed.Account's brief description of the event provided that the surgeon requested a 3-piece lens (suspect iol, model: za9003, 25.5 diopter power) and implanted it in the sulcus.The surgeon did not notice that the haptic was bent until the lens had been deployed inside the capsule and decided to replace the lens.Account believes that the bent haptic was a handling/loading problem.It was indicated that the incision was enlarged with a a 5.2 blade to pull the remainder of the partially cut lens out of the patient's left eye as it was difficult to remove the lens.By the time the iol was completely removed, the capsule had deteriorated further and could no longer support another sulcus lens.Therefore, a competitor anterior chamber lens (23.5 diopter power) was implanted and suturing was required to close the incision.The case was about an hour long, triple the surgeon's usual time.It was provided that 20 mg of triamcinolone was administered due to the excessive manipulation of the eye.Patient was reportedly okay post operation.The iol was discarded post removal.No further information was provided.
