    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS RECEIVED FROM THE PATIENT ON (B)(6), 2023, REPORTING THAT THE PATIENT HAS A ¿MAJOR CONCERN¿ WITH THE INTRAOCULAR LENS (IOL) THAT WAS IMPLANTED IN THE LEFT EYE AFTER CATARACT SURGERY. THE PATIENT CHOSE THIS SPECIFIC LENS AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THE EYESIGHT WOULD BE 20/20. THE PATIENT REPORTED READING THE SIDE EFFECTS BUT STATED THAT ¿NEVER ONCE DID IT MENTION THE EFFECTS AND DAMAGES¿ THE PATIENT HAS ¿ENDURED¿. THE PATIENT REPORTED HAVING LOST THE ABILITY TO SEE AND MEASURE DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS AND IS UNABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ANYMORE, WHICH THE PATIENT DESCRIBED AS LOSING THE PATIENT¿S IDENTITY. THE PATIENT REPORTED THAT THE ¿CONTACTS¿ FEEL LIKE IT HAS A SMUDGE AND A RESIDUAL GLARE, NOTING THAT THE FEELING CAN BE COMPARED TO A DIRTY CONTACT LENS. IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE LENS WAS IMPLANTED, THE PATIENT EXPERIENCED ¿IT FELT SCRATCHY¿ AND THE VISION WAS OBSCURED. THE PATIENT NOTED THAT THESE ISSUES ARE AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS HAD NO IMPROVEMENT. THE DOCTOR HAS DISCUSSED A POSSIBLE YTTRIUM ALUMINUM GARNET (YAG) CAPSULOTOMY, BUT THE PATIENT IS AFRAID AND HAS NO TRUST IN ANY LENS PROCEDURES. THROUGH FOLLOW-UP WITH THE SURGEON¿S OFFICE, IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT HAS POSTERIOR CAPSULE OPACIFICATION (PCO) AND IS EXPERIENCING HALOS, GLARE, STARBURSTS, AND ¿SMUDGE¿ IN VISION IN THE LEFT EYE. THE PATIENT HAS OTHER ISSUES THAT COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO VISUAL ISSUES, INCLUDING PTOSIS (DROOPING OF EYE LID ¿ WHICH IS UNRELATED TO THE CATARACT SURGERY), BLEPHARITIS, AND DRY EYE. THE PATIENT WAS TOLD TO USE THERA TEARS, TWO-FOUR TIMES A DAY AND CEQUA, TWO TIMES A DAY, AND THE SURGEON RECOMMENDED USING WARM COMPRESSES. THE SURGEON THINKS THAT IF THE DRYNESS CAN BE CONTROLLED IT MIGHT HELP WITH SOME OF THE PATIENT¿S SYMPTOMS. THE PATIENT¿S PRE-OPERATIVE VISUAL ACUITY (VA) WAS 20/30 CORRECTED WITH GLASSES. ON (B)(6), 2022 (POST-SURGERY), THE PATIENT COMPLAINED ABOUT GLARE AND STARBURSTS AROUND HEADLIGHTS AND THAT VISION HAS NOT IMPROVED. THE PATIENT¿S VA WAS 20/40 UNCORRECTED AND REFRACTED TO 20/25. THE PATIENT RETURNED IN (B)(6) 2023, WHERE VISION REFRACTED TO BETWEEN 20/25 AND 20/20-3. ON (B)(6), 2023, THE PATIENT REFRACTED TO 20/40. THE SURGEON BELIEVES THE PCO IS AFFECTING THE PATIENT VISUAL ACUITY AND THINKS THE YAG PROCEDURE WOULD HELP. IT WAS NOTED THAT LEGALLY THE PATIENT STILL QUALIFIES TO DRIVE. THE SURGEON HAS HAD EXTENSIVE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PATIENT ABOUT NEXT STEP OPTIONS, INCLUDING YAG AND POSSIBLE IOL EXCHANGE. THE PATIENT DOES NOT WANT TO DO EITHER INTERVENTION. THE PATIENT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PTOSIS REPAIR SURGERY, SO THE SURGEON HAS REFERRED THE PATIENT TO ANOTHER SURGEON BECAUSE THE SURGERY WILL INCLUDE THE BROW AND EYELID. THE SURGEON WOULD LIKE FOR THE PATIENT TO HAVE THE PTOSIS REPAIR SURGERY FIRST BEFORE YAG IS PERFORMED, AS THE SURGERY MAY AFFECT THE PATIENT¿S VISION. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS RECEIVED FROM THE PATIENT STATING THAT VISION IS CURRENTLY 20/60 IN THE LEFT EYE. THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER OF THE LENS WAS PROVIDED AND THE PATIENT WEIGHT AND ETHNICITY.
