  • InjuryJul 31, 2026Device Dislodged or Dislocated

    It was initially reported that following implantation of a preloaded multifocal intraocular lens (IOL), model DXW150, the patient experienced halos, and a postoperative flipped axis was observed. Due to these symptoms, the implanted lens was explanted during a secondary surgical procedure and replaced with a ZCB00 21.5 D IOL (SN (b)(6)).Additional follow-up information indicated that the patient was a glaucoma suspect in both eyes (OU) and had previously undergone cataract surgery with implantation of a toric extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOL and a Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) procedure in the left eye (OS). The postoperative course was complicated by significant visual distortions and UGH (Uveitis-Glaucoma-Hyphema) syndrome in the left eye, which necessitated an IOL exchange procedure.Intraoperative findings during the lens exchange revealed that the toric IOL was positioned at the 108-degree meridian, with the trailing haptic located in the sulcus. Fibrosis of the inferior capsule was also noted. The patient's ocular history was significant for dry eye syndrome and myopia. The patient's medical history included insomnia, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
