Event Description
|
It was reported that the intraocular lens (iol) was stuck in the introducer and came out cracked and upside-down.There was no replacement lens on hand and it was determined that an iol exchange would be required for the patient.Through follow-up it was explained that the lens was stuck in the introducer and difficult to expel, but the account was unsure if the lens was upside down in the cartridge or cracked pre-insertion.The customer believed there was poor capture of the introducer tip with the lens inside the cartridge.The lens was fully inserted into the eye, because the patient is a pathological young high myope with high risk of retinal detachment if left aphakic.The lens was distorted prior to unfolding, with clear damage to the optic.It was also evident that the haptics were in a ¿s¿ type configuration.The lens did, however, unfold without causing intraocular damage.After unfolding in the bag it was clear that the lens had numerous cracks within the visual axis.The patient did well postoperatively and had an uncorrected visual acuity of 6/24 which was still better than prior to surgery.The patient was counseled postoperatively and was scheduled for an iol exchange 2 weeks post her cataract surgery.The patient understood and was happy with the decision.The damaged iol was removed without complications and the new iol inserted within the bag.Postoperatively the patient had corneal edema.She is currently recovering and i expect a good result.The surgeon confirmed that if they had a backup iol in the theatre the damaged lens would not have been implanted and that the patient would not have needed a second surgery.No further details were provided.
