The device history record for the manufacturing lot was reviewed and there were no discrepancies or unusual findings.The site reported during the primary implant surgery, a capsular bag tear occurred, and the light adjustable lens (lal) was placed in the sulcus with optic capture.During follow-up visit, the vitreous was observed in the haptic junction and anterior chamber, but not extending to the wound.The patient was referred to a retinal specialist for clean-up and anterior vitrectomy.After the retinal visit, the patient returned to the implanting surgeon, and at that time, it was observed that the patient had a significantly elevated intraocular pressure (iop).An anterior chamber paracentesis (ac tap) was performed to relieve the pressure.Subsequently, the patient developed endophthalmitis.The patient recovered after the treatment, and their best-corrected visual acuity (bcva) was 20/25+.This event is being documented here for completeness.Manufacturer reference #: (b)(4).
