Bausch & Lomb Cataract Lens Recall Lawsuit

Helping Patients Diagnosed With TASS After Cataract Surgery

What Happened With the Bausch + Lomb Intraocular Lens Recall?

On April 3, 2025, Bausch + Lomb issued a voluntary recall of several intraocular lenses (IOLs) after patients developed Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome (TASS) following cataract surgery. This recall affects enVista Aspire™, enVista Envy™, and enVista® Monofocal lenses — including both standard and toric models.

At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, we are actively investigating claims for patients who experienced serious eye injuries linked to these recalled lenses. If you or a loved one developed TASS after cataract surgery, you may qualify for a lawsuit and potential compensation.

Which Bausch & Lomb Intraocular Lenses Are Affected?

Bausch + Lomb’s recall includes these specific intraocular lens models:

• enVista Monofocal IOL: all models starting with EE

• enVista Aspire IOL: all models starting with EA

• enVista Envy IOL: all models starting with EN

• enVista Monofocal Toric IOL: all models starting with ETE

• enVista Aspire Toric IOL: all models starting with ETA

• enVista Envy Toric IOL: all models starting with ETN

Although the FDA has not yet classified the recall, Bausch + Lomb is urging patients experiencing complications to contact their doctor immediately.

What Is TASS (Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome)?

TASS is a rare but dangerous inflammatory condition that occurs after cataract surgery. It typically develops within 12 to 48 hours following the procedure.

Common Symptoms of TASS After Cataract Surgery:

• Severe eye pain, redness, and swelling
  
• Corneal edema (clouding of the eye from damaged endothelial cells)
  
• Increased intraocular pressure, which may cause secondary glaucoma
  
• Dilated, irregular, or non-reactive pupil
  
• Reduced or blurred vision

Left untreated, TASS can lead to permanent vision damage or blindness.

Why Patients Are Filing Lawsuits Against Bausch + Lomb

Medical device recalls indicate that manufacturers were aware — or should have been aware — of product defects. In the case of Bausch + Lomb intraocular lenses, patients trusted these implants to restore their vision after cataract surgery. Instead, defective products caused painful, debilitating, and potentially permanent injuries.

SSKB is pursuing legal action to:

• Hold Bausch + Lomb accountable for releasing defective lenses.
  
• Secure compensation for victims’ medical expenses, lost wages, and suffering.
  
• Protect future patients by demanding stronger corporate responsibility in medical device manufacturing.
