The lens was returned.The lens has been cut into two pieces across the optic.The power and resolution could not be evaluated due to the extensive optic damage.Associated products were not provided.It is unknown if qualified associated products were used.The product investigation could not identify a root cause for the reported complaint.The lens was returned in pieces.Each lens is subjected to a 100% assessment of the power and optical resolution during the manufacturing process in order to determine acceptability per the lens model and diopter.Information was provided that the company 015, 19.5 diopter, (extended 1.5 diopters of focus) was replaced with a non-company monofocal lens.The exchange from an extended depth of focus lens to a monofocal lens may indicate the replacement was an improved choice for the patient's visual needs.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
