Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that an intraocular lens (iol) was inserted and appeared gouged.The surgeon said that it felt a little harder than usual to turn the screw of the lens delivery system.The end result was that the iol was removed from the eye after the surgeon cut it into 3 pieces.The incision was enlarged slightly.There was no vitreous/vitrectomy and no sutures were needed to seal the incision after a second lens was implanted.Further information was provided and noted that what may have caused the event, was there was not enough viscoelastic in the very back of the cartridge and the lens stuck and the plunger ended up digging into the optic.No additional information was provided to abbott medical optics.
