Intraocular lenses with incorrect power recalled for vision impairment risk
Bausch & Lomb is recalling Akreos intraocular lenses due to a manufacturing error that resulted in incorrect lens power (16 diopters instead of 3), which could cause vision problems requiring optical or surgical correction.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This Class III recall involves a manufacturing defect with no reported illnesses or injuries. While the optical power error creates a real risk of functional visual impairment that could require corrective intervention, it is not an acute safety hazard.
