Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that the injector was handled incorrectly.The physician pushed the plunger up to the first line then screwed and pushed the lens in to the eye.The implant popped up and landed under the iris in the sulcus.The doctor tried to retrieve the lens to put the lens back in the broken capsule.The iris was torn.The implant went up the anterior chamber but as the chamber was narrow, the implant pasted to the endothelium.Which will require a corneal transplant.The surgery was also delayed by 30 minutes.Device is not available for investigation.No further information was provided.
