Bausch & Lomb will recall some intraocular lenses after receiving reports of inflammatory reactions, the cause of which is not currently known.

The company said it is recalling the lenses, which are part of its enVista platform, out of an abundance of caution, and is looking to identify a root cause. "As much as we believe in the enVista platform, patient safety will always be our number one priority," said CEO Brent Saunders in a press release.

Patients responded quickly to treatment, and none required lens removal

The company said it is informing eye care professionals about the impacted lots and return protocols for the product.

The intraocular lenses or surgically implanted lenses are used in cataract surgery to replace the natural clouded lens in the eye.
