The lens is intended for placement in the capsular bag. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Implantation is not advisable when the IOL may aggravate an existing condition, interfere with the diagnosis or the treatment of a pathology, or present a risk to the sight of the patient. These conditions are uncontrolled glaucoma, rubeotic cataract, retinal detachment, atrophy of the iris, microphthalmia, developing chronic eye infections, endothelial corneal dystrophy, perioperative complications (such as vitreous loss, hemorrhage…), foreseeable postoperative complications. WARNINGS: Physicians considering lens implantation under any of the following circumstances should weigh the potential risk/benefi t ratio: a. Recurrent severe anterior or posterior segment infl ammation or uveitis. b. Patients in whom the intraocular lens may affect the ability to observe, diagnose, or treat posterior segment diseases. c. Surgical diffi culties at the time of cataract extraction that might increase the potential for complications (e.g., persistent bleeding, signifi cant iris damage, uncontrolled positive pressure, or signifi cant vitreous prolapse or loss). d. A distorted eye due to previous trauma or developmental defect in which appropriate support of the IOL is not possible. e. Circumstances that would result in damage to the endothelium during implantation. f. Suspected microbial infection. g.

Secondary surgical interventions include, but are not limited to, lens repositioning, lens replacement, vitreous aspirations or iridectomy for pupillary block, wound leak repair, and retinal detachment repair. Amongst those directly related to the IOL are decentering and subluxation, precipitates on the surface of the IOL. Silicone oil, particularly when used in the surgical treatment of detached retina, may stick to the IOL if the posterior capsule of the crystalline lens is not intact.
