Optical bodies issue advice for primary care optometry in patient safety alert
Optical industry news and updates, added weekly to the Flame Health blog. The MHRA has issued a patient safety alert in response to reports of increased IOP in patients recently implanted with EyeCee One preloaded and EyeCee One Crystal preloaded intraocular lenses.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a patient safety alert after becoming aware of cases of increased intraocular pressure (IOP) in people recently implanted with the intraocular lenses (IOLs): EyeCee One preloaded and EyeCee One Crystal preloaded.
A Field Safety Notice has been disseminated by manufacturer Nidek, which is distributed by Bausch + Lomb UK Ltd.
Optometry membership bodies including the AOP have published the alert, along with a list of frequently asked questions for primary eye care providers.
The MHRA has written to cataract clinics and instructed them to contact every person who has been implanted with this lens since 1 October 2022. Initial reports suggest 2–4% of people fitted with this lens since October experience increased IOP.
