A health care professional reported with a description of tear in intraocular lens (iol), during folding.Additional information has been requested, received and stated the tear was noticed when the lens was unfolded in the eye.Definitely it was a tear, not a scratch, from the edge of the optics, halfway between the haptics.It was unknown which side.Seemed to be about 3mm in size.Lens was folded not far in advance, really done just before implantation.The iol was removed from the eye without complications and the backup lens was implanted.Outcomes were expected to be good, no patient impact.Additional information has been requested, received and stated the lens was cut in small pieces and taken out during the same surgery.
