EVO+ Visian Toric Implantable Collamer Lens (TICL)
Staar Surgical is recalling EVO+ Visian Toric ICL Model VTICM5 due to incorrect length labeling (12.1 mm labeled vs. 12.6 mm actual) causing excessive vault and potential angle closure.
If you have received or implanted an EVO+ Visian Toric Implantable Collamer Lens Model VTICM5, contact Staar Surgical AG immediately to verify the actual lens length and discuss whether lens exchange or removal is necessary. Do not delay seeking medical evaluation if you experience eye discomfort, vision changes, or symptoms of elevated intraocular pressure.
Why it was recalled
Staar Surgical AG is recalling EVO+ Visian Toric Implantable Collamer Lens (TICL), Model VTICM5, distributed internationally to India, Iran, Korea, and Saudi Arabia. The lenses are labeled as 12.1 mm length but are actually 12.6 mm length, which may cause excessive vault leading to reduced irido-corneal angles, anterior chamber shallowing, elevated intraocular pressure, angle closure, patient discomfort, and potential need for lens exchange or removal.
