Customer reported that the plunger went straight through the tecnis itec preloaded intraocular lens (iol).The physician retracted the plunger, put more methyl and managed to get the plunger to take the lens.Physician took the iol out to see if it was intact.Physician would use a platinum cartridge to perform the implant, but the lens had a malfunction (cracked or scratched) in the optical zone.There was no patient contact and issue occurred during handling/prior to insertion.Due to what happened, there was an increase in the surgical time.It was necessary to open another lens (the same degree of lens was available at the clinic).Despite the increase in surgical time, the patient was not affected because a new lens was implanted.Patient fully recovered.Patient's daily activities were not significantly affected.Medication was prescribed for standard postoperative use.Patient did not seek medical attention.No surgical interventions were required.No further information provided.
