Staar Surgical Company is recalling 252 units of various EVO Visian and EVO+ Visian Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL), which are used during eye surgery to correct vision. These intraocular implant devices may not meet the necessary technical specifications required for safe use. This voluntary recall includes several models of Phakic and Phakic Toric lenses distributed across 38 U.S. states between late 2022 and mid-2023. Consumers should verify if their specific implant is affected by reviewing the serial and model numbers with their eye surgeon or clinic.
If an intraocular lens does not meet its manufacturing specifications, it may lead to improper vision correction or other medical complications following eye surgery. While no specific injuries were mentioned in the recall, the deviation from set standards poses a risk to patient safety during and after the implantation procedure.
