Intraocular lens quality control.
A mislabeled lens was found to have a diopter power of 19.66 on the optical bench, although it was labeled as a 13.00 diopter lens. Both the surgeon and patient were unnecessarily frustrated. In addition, three consecutive posterior chamber lenses examined from one manufacturer showed poor loop quality. It is obvious from these examples that implant surgeons must continue their vigil over lens manufacturers to ensure implant lens quality and accuracy.
