The lens was returned for evaluation.The lens was returned in a plastic bag.Solution was dried on the lens.Three cut pieces of the lens were returned.This included two optic portions and a broken or cut haptic.The complete optic was not returned.A light scratch was observed near the edge of the optic on the anterior side of one of the returned pieces of the lens.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified associated products were used.The root cause for the reported glare and scratch could not be determined.We are unable to determine if this was the damage the customer was referring to or if this occurred during the lens cutting and removal.The instructions for use (ifu) instructs: company foldable iols are qualified for use with an company qualified delivery system (handpiece and cartridge) and ophthalmic viscosurgical device (ovd) combination.The ifu instructs that an company qualified delivery system and viscoelastic combination should be used.The use of an unqualified combination may cause damage to the lens and potential complications during the implantation process.Information was provided that the company, 21.0 diopter lens was replaced with a company 21.5 diopter lens.An iol exchange for the same model with a 0.5 diopter change in power, may suggest that the replacement lens was an improved choice for the patient's vision needs.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
