The lens was returned to lenstec without any packaging components and only the dehydrated optic was returned.The device was incomplete.Visual inspection indicated a foreign substance was on the lens surface.After hydration the lens was tested for calcium via alizarin red dye.The microscopic examination of the lens indicated that the opacification was superficial, it stained for calcium and it did not extend through the matrix of the lens.The superficial nature of the opacification permits classification as "secondary calcification" in accordance with neuhann et al (2008).According to neuhann et al, this indicates that non-lens factors are the likely cause of the clouding.Environmental and patient factors are the most favorable cause.A full audit of all batch documentation relating to the production of the lens was performed.The audit concluded that all procedures in manufacturing and packaging of the lens had been conducted correctly.Batch reconciliation was 100.0%.Based on the assessment of our batch documentation and the results of the testing conducting, lenstec can confirm that all procedures in the manufacturing and packaging of the lens were conducted correctly.Lenstec also confirms that the lens, its design and the manufacturing process are not at fault due to the extensive testing that we have performed on this model.Furthermore, lenstec confirms that there have never been any confirmed lens-related cases of clouding, discoloration or opacification for our hema lenses.
