It was reported that the leading haptic of the intraocular lens (iol) was detached inadvertently when about half of the lens was already inside the patient's right eye.The incision was enlarged.The lens and the detached haptic were removed from the eye.Vitrectomy was performed and sutures were placed.There was a delay of approximately 45 minutes and medication was prescribed.The patient was left aphakic as there was no suitable lens (a 3 piece iol) available during the surgery to be used as the replacement iol.The patient remained aphakic for 7 weeks ((b)(6) 2022 to (b)(6) 2022) and had regular follow-up consultations during this time.Eventually, the patient was implanted with a 3 piece lens of the same power as the original lens.The original lens was discarded.No other information was provided.
