It was reported by the physician that the wrong lens was implanted.The error was recognized and the patient was re-prepped and re-draped.The wrong lens was removed and the correct lens was implanted.The incorrect lens was labeled zcb00 (monofocal) and the correct lens for the patient was labeled zkb00 (multifocal) at the surgery center.Unfortunately, in spite of numerous checks by several individuals including the ophthalmologist, no one picked up the discrepancy of lens type (monofocal versus multifocal).Patient was doing okay after surgery but on the third day post-op, patient could only count fingers.Vision on (b)(6) 2016 was 20/40 and intra-ocular pressure was 31.Patient had aching and soreness.Patient was given combigan for the eye pressure.Additionally, as the initial lens was being removed, the lens engaged the iris and caused some bleeding.The physician observed the eye and bleeding had stopped.No vitrectomy was performed.However, incision was enlarged to remove the initial lens and sutures were used to stitch the iris that tore.After the secondary procedure, the affected eye was at 20/20 and the pressure was at 13 at the patient's post op visit on (b)(6) 2016.The patient is seeing shadows temporally but was happy with her current vision.No further information was provided.
