The product was not returned for analysis.Fourteen slit lamp images were submitted and reviewed.Five of the images show a full view of the dilated pupil beyond edge of the capsule, with an ¿opaque¿ appearing iol as reported.The other nine images show a cross sectional view that may be consistent with a dense confluence of microvacuoles within the iol that is sometimes referred to as sub-surface nano glistenings.Based on the content provided in the medical information review, microvacuoles/nano glistenings have been observed but the cause cannot be determined.A definitive determination of iol condition cannot be made without the evaluation of the physical product.A final root cause cannot be determined based on available information.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
