Reason for Recall
Abbott Medical Optics (AMO) has received complaints of some Tecnis 1-Piece IOLs (model ZCB00) have adhered to the lens optic after insertion into the eye. This can lead to a need for additional manipulation to separate the haptics from the optic during surgery which could lead to an injury.
