Event or Problem Description
|
|
A report was received that following a cataract extraction with a tecnis 1 multifocal (tmf) model zlb00 intraocular lens (iol) procedure, a patient experienced dry eye, glare and halos.A description from the patient indicated that cataract procedure for both eyes (ou) was performed in (b)(6) 2016.Although, the patient was no longer dependent on glasses, dry eye had developed and had major problems with glare and halos immediately after the procedure and could not drive at night.The surgery center performed a yag procedure on ou to resolve the halos and glare.The patient commented that the yag procedure had no effect on relieving the glare or halos.The dryness was addressed with permanent lower punctal plugs in both eyes and restasis was prescribed in (b)(6) 2016.The patient noted on using restasis and punctal plugs inserted had greatly helped with the dry eyes.The patient indicated the problems/symptoms that had developed have greatly impeded the ability to drive after dark and recently having issues with a wax paper like vision during the day.The surgery center indicated there is no plan to explant the lenses and the patient was last seen on (b)(6) 2017.The surgeon explained to the patient that it was necessary to give it some time for neuroadaptation.The surgeon plans to prescribe night time eye glasses for the glare and will need to come back again after 3 months for a follow up visit.There are two medical device reports associated with this event; this report is associated with the patient's left eye.

Additional information: follow up was provided that the patient¿s symptoms of halos and glare initially reported have affected daytime vision.A photorefractive keratectomy(prk) was performed in (b)(6) 2017 to diminish symptoms.To date, the patient has indicated the symptoms have not resolved.The patient is being seen by an optometrist and claims the optometrist believes since nothing has helped that the original multi-focal lenses are the root of the problem and need to be replaced with standard lenses.The optometirist will be recommending this to the surgeon and because of the prk performed, the lens replacement will have to wait several months until it is safe to perform another surgery on both eyes.The patient commented that the iols implanted were a life changing, time consuming and costly experience.All pertinent information available to abbott medical optics has been submitted.
