Known and Potential Risks Sample Clauses

Known and Potential Risks. Complications may occur on the surgery day or throughout the postoperative period. As with any type of intraocular surgery, there is a possibility of complications due to anesthesia, drug reactions, and surgical problems. The surgical procedure can exacerbate a pre-existing ocular condition. Possible problems during surgery include corneal endothelial touch, detached Descemet’s membrane, iris damage, iris prolapse, iris trauma, iris incarceration, zonular rupture, vitreous loss, capsulorhexis tear, capsular rupture, uncontrollable intraocular pressure, hyphema, and retinal damage. An IOP increase may occur from the surgical procedure, residual viscoelastic in the eye, or a steroid response to postoperative medications. Additionally, potential postoperative adverse events include but are not limited to corneal stromal edema, cystoid macular edema, endophthalmitis, hypopyon, iritis, lens dislocation, membrane formation on the IOL, pupillary block, retinal detachment, cyclitic membrane, transient or persistent glaucoma, retinal tear, vitritis, iris touch, pupil ovalization, posterior synechiae, ocular inflammation, ocular discomfort or pain, inflammation, decreased vision, decreased contrast sensitivity, decreased color perception, visual disturbances, and corneal endothelial cell loss. An IOL replacement or explantation may be appropriate in some cases of residual refractive error, ocular infection, subject dissatisfaction, or visual disturbances (eg, glare, halos, starbursts, hazy vision, blurred vision, double vision, visual distortions, and color distortions, etc.). Alternatively, spectacles or contact lenses may be prescribed to resolve residual refractive error. Other secondary surgical interventions include, but are not limited to: IOL repositioning, refractive laser treatment, paracentesis, vitreous aspirations, iridectomy or laser iridotomy for pupillary block, wound leak repair, and retinal detachment repair.
