It was reported that during injection of the preloaded monofocal intraocular lens (iol), the trailing haptic became lodged adjacent to the plunger.Attempts to advance the plunger exacerbated the obstruction, while retraction resulted in withdrawal of the entire iol.The surgeon attempted to disengage the haptic using forceps; however, due to severe entrapment, the haptic was amputated, the iol was removed from the eye, and a replacement lens was successfully implanted during the same procedure.The patient is reported to be doing well.No further information was provided.
