What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
Staar Surgical AG is recalling the EVO+ Visian Toric Implantable Collamer Lens (TICL), model VTICM5. Seven units were distributed internationally to India, Iran, Korea and Saudi Arabia. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II.
The lenses, intended for correction or reduction of myopia in phakic eyes with astigmatism, were labelled as 12.1 mm in length but are 12.6 mm lenses. This creates the potential for excessive vault, which may cause significant reduction of irido-corneal angles, significant shallowing of the anterior chamber, patient discomfort, elevated intraocular pressure or angle closure, an unreactive pupil, and lens exchange or removal.
Affected product carries UDI-DI 00840311304363, an expiration date of 2027-11-30, and serial numbers T2286964, T2286971, T2286973, T2286979, T2286980, T2286981 and T2286988.
