Event Description
|
It was reported that once the intraocular lens (iol) was implanted into the capsular bag, the surgeon noticed the presence of residual particles behind the iol.The surgeon had to take the extra measure of flushing balanced salt solution (bss) behind the optical surface to move the particles in a position to be able to extract with irrigation/aspiration (i/a) hand tool.The surgeon was unsure if the material is biodegradable or not; because of the uncertainty, the surgeon removed the material from the operative eye.The surgeon feels it has something to do with the cartridge.The doctor will continue to observe these cases, then provide more feedback over time.No patient injury was reported and patient outcome is unknown.No further information is available.
