A surgical technician reported that an intraocular lens (iol) was prepared with viscoelastic and was left until the doctor was ready.During the cataract extraction with iol implantation, when the lens was handed to the doctor, one of the legs crawled out and was not folded like it normally is.The doctor started to put the lens into the eye, then heard a crack.He then unfolded the lens and saw a crack on it.The viscoelastic was left in the lens for about 5 minutes.Additional information was requested and received.
