HEALON GV PRO (OVD)

Reason

Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision is voluntarily recalling all HEALON GV PRO products due to complaints reporting that the HEALON GV PRO may be difficult to remove from the eye, leading to increased post-operative intra-ocular pressure requiring additional intervention. There have also been reports of potential clogging of phacoemulsification equipment tubing, which may lead to delay in the procedure or ocular injury.
