A physician reported that, during an intraocular lens (iol) implantation procedure, after implantation a scratch was noticed on the surface of the lens.Therefore, the lens was cut in half using scissors and explanted (removed).Additional information has been requested and received it states that implanted the iol into the eye in the usual manner.At the moment the iol unfolded (and the optic could be seen in its entirety), a small tear became visible at the edge of the optic.To allow for immediate explantation, physician divided the iol into two halves with scissors and then removed both halves from the eye.Subsequently, the surgeon was able to implant a new iol of the same type without any harm to the patient.
