A health care professional (hcp) reported that a patient developed phototoxicity from a vitrectomy surgery involving the use of an artevo 750 / 850.The case was about 1:45 hours in length and no unusual medications were used.The patient had a straightforward vitrectomy without complications or even contact with the macular surface.However, about 1 month postop, the patient has paracentral vision changes as well as changes to the ellipsoid zone on ocular coherence tomography.

The reported issue seems to stem from the use of endo-illumination in a complex vitrectomy procedure rather than a malfunction of the artevo 750 microscope.
