Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported the doctor noticed a ''bubble'' material that repelled the phaco immediately after injecting healon endocoat model vt585u.Also, the doctor saw shadowing, debris, and 2 air bubbles coming out of the healon.Reportedly, the doctor attempted to aspirate without any success.The doctor also felt that this event weakened the posterior capsule, so a sulcus lens was implanted instead.The material almost completely covered the pupillary field, but once the lens was implanted, it moved behind the iris.At the patient's one week post-operative visit with the doctor on (b)(6) 2017, the 2 air bubbles were no longer visible and the patient was prescribed combigan eye drops as a prophylactic measure.Reportedly, there was no patient injury and the patient is doing okay post-operatively.No additional information was provided.
