Event or Problem Description

Doctor stated, as you know, the intraocular lens (iol) comes already loaded in its injector.The technician that was working with me on the case, is very good and a very experienced technician.The viscoelastic was not added to the injector until the lens implant power had been confirmed with the ocular response analyzer (ora).After the lens implant unfolded, doctor noticed that there was a small crack in the optic of the iol.It was small and located a few rings away from the central ring, and determined that it would not cause a problem with the patient's vision.Doctor felt that the risk of removing the lens implant outweighed any potential problem that the crack might cause.Therefore, the lens was left implanted in its proper position in the capsular bag.Doctor reported that on the next postoperative day the patient was doing well and had not examined the patient since then.Doctor clarified that the lens implant was a low-power iol +12.0 diopter, so he does not think the thickness of the optic was a contributing cause of the crack.Doctor thinks that it must have been related to a problem with the injector.No further information was provided.
