Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The torn material from the haptic tip may have been interpreted as "foreign material".The lens case base comes into view over the eye, the intraocular lens (iol) haptic tip is damaged.The surgeon removes the iol with tweezers, the iol is inserted into the cartridge and the iol is implanted into the eye.As the iol unfolds, the damaged haptic tip is seen.The video shows the haptic tip to be damaged as the lens is removed from the iol case.The root cause is potentially manufacturing related.If the iol becomes misaligned in the lens case, iol damage may occur.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
