Event Description
|
It was reported that when a tecnis itec preloaded 1-piece intraocular lens (iol), model pcb00, was implanted into the operative eye, the legs/haptic failed to release themselves from the optical portion of the lens.It took ten minutes to physically disengage the legs from the optic.This extra manipulation in the eye led to damage to the posterior capsule and the cornea.The physician noted posterior capsule rupture and corneal decompensation (that was hoped to be reversible).The doctor will follow up with the patient and hopes the corneal edema will clear.The lens remains implanted and there was no vitreous prolapse at the time of surgery.Currently the patient has a severe central corneal edema reducing vision down to hand motion (hm).Intraocular pressure (iop) is normal.The eye was not injected excessively.Anterior chamber activity is hard to assess through corneal edema, pupil is round, and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) in situ and appears well centered.It was reported that the cornea is still too cloudy to allow a proper assessment.The patient will be re-assessed in a few weeks.No additional information was provided.
