It was reported by the doctor that a 3-weeks post op patient with a symfony optiblue intraocular lens (iol) was experiencing significant starbursts at night to the point where she does not want to drive.The patient was essentially plano and with an auto refractor, she was -0.75 as expected.The oct (optical coherence tomography) is clear, tomography shows little cylinder and no signs of dry eye.The patient was given some tears and even though pupil was normal sized, the patient was given some vuity eye drops and was asked to give it for another 3 weeks.The patient¿s near or intermediate vision was ok but a little less than expected which could be the reason for the refraction being slightly plus.The doctor was hoping to avoid an exchange.Additional information received stated that the doctor had removed the symfony lens from the patient and it was replaced with a competitor lens.There were no complications with the exchange including no vitrectomy or suture.They do not have the lens and the lens is not being returned.No further information is available.
