The site reported that the patient had a previous superficial keratectomy (sk) with a different clinic and doctor that left too much irregularity on his cornea.After the initial light adjustable lens implant (lal sn (b)(6), +18.5d), there was a large refractive surprise.The treating physician realized that the patient needed to have a topography-guided lasik to try and fix the irregularity prior to any light treatment being performed.After the lasik was completed, the patient needed a photorefractive keratectomy (prk) to correct for the irregularity centrally on the cornea.At this point, a light treatment was completed for the eye.The patient ended up with a manifest refraction of +4.50 +1.50 x 123.The treating physician determined that the refraction was too high to be adjusted and opted to explant the lal and replace it with another lal of a different power (sn (b)(6), +26.0d).The device history record for the manufacturing lot was reviewed and there were no discrepancies or unusual findings.Manufacturer reference #: (b)(4).
