Event or Problem Description

It was reported that an intraocular lens (iol) was defective and that the surgeon explanted it because the posterior chamber broke.Through follow-up, it was learnt that there was a rupture of the posterior chamber and the lens was removed during the initial procedure, because there was lack of support.Neither the lens nor any other johnson & johnson device is reported to have caused or contributed to the capsule tear and the surgery could not be completed with a back-up lens.However, this could not be verified.No further information was provided.
