Event Description

A surgeon reported that during an intraocular lens (iol) implant procedure, the proximal haptic entered the eye inversely complicating the correct position inside the capsular bag. The postoperative refractive result presented an error of one diopter spherical power. In a follow up, the surgeon reported the iol was inserted wrong into the patient's eye, and when he turned the lens it caused profuse bleeding. When the iol was apparently positioned, the surgeon left the lens implanted. The surgeon plans to use viscoelastic to turn the iol over and place it in the capsular bag. The surgeon reported if this cannot be done, he will remove the iol and replace it with another lens model. The surgeon reported the patient experienced discomfort due to anisometropia. The target refraction was -0. 75, but the patient was -3. 00 postoperatively.

Event Description

The surgeon reported in a follow up that the iol is still implanted in the patient's eye, but the patient may have zonular dialysis. The surgeon reported a vitrectomy may be necessary during a second procedure. The patient also has an astigmatism that does not coincide with the cornea, and has many aberrations.
