Did You Know?
About Defects In Intraocular Lens
( IOL )
Intraocular lens may have defect during the manufacturing process
and implantation into the patients' eyes. This ranges from the
production of IOL, packaging, distribution, insertion to when the
IOL is already implanted into the patients' eyes.
Defect may range from manufacturing defect such as no IOL in the box
or fracture of haptics or optics. It may also be in the form of
deposits on the IOL or opacification detected weeks to years after
surgery. All these defects will contribute directly to the patients'
visual outcome. Some defects may require explantation and results in
distress to both the patients and surgeons. Cost for explantation of
an opacified IOL also has to be borne by the patient and eye care
providers.
It is also important to identify any common defect for example
fracture of haptics or optics as this will be used as feedback to
the industries to improve their IOL quality or be used for platform
for further training pertaining to the IOL if required.
CDSCO Medical Device alert on IOLs
CDSCO has issued a medical device alert on certain batches of Hoya
Vivinex Toric IntraOcular Lens (IOLs) manufactured from June, 2022
to January, 2023. The Company has started recalling these IOLs under
recall action classification Class II, because of reports of damage
(such as scratches) and fragment adhesion on the IOL optic surface.
Hoya identified that damage had occurred to the nozzle tip of the
iSert injector during Toric IOL implantation. This damage might have
led to the reported scratches on the optic surface and polypropylene
(PP) resin fragments from inside the injector tip to adhere to the
IOL surface (PP adhesion)” Hoya is a global med-tech company founded
in 1941 in Tokyo, Japan and it is a leading supplier of innovative
high-tech and medical products. The company has its Indian arm as
Hoya Medical India Pvt Ltd, in New Delhi. The Company has
recommended that the patients involved, that is the cases where
lenses with PP adhesion have been left in the eye, be monitored for
the need for any future medical treatment.
As per Hoya, lenses are made from a novel hydrophobic acrylic, using
a proprietary manufacturing process that includes a unique, active
oxygen posterior surface treatment. Combined with its square edge
design and smooth, regular IOL surface, it has been demonstrated to
provide a low incidence of Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO) in
several studies.
