Intraocular Lenses Lawsuit

About the EnVista Lawsuit & Bausch + Lomb Recall

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are clear, artificial lenses implanted during cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange. These devices replace the eye’s natural lens and are intended to help correct vision issues.

However, certain Bausch + Lomb enVitsa^® IOLs have been linked to an increased risk of toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) due to defects in the raw materials used to manufacture the lenses, leading to an enVista IOL recall.

Lawsuits against Bausch + Lomb claim the company failed to ensure the safety of their intraocular lenses before releasing them to the public, putting thousands of patients at risk.

If you or a loved one was diagnosed with TASS after receiving a Bausch + Lomb IOL, you may be able to seek compensation from an intraocular lens lawsuit.

Bausch and Lomb Intraocular Lens Recall 2025

On April 3, 2025, Bausch and Lomb initiated a voluntary recall of their enVista line of intraocular lenses due to reports of toxic anterior segment syndrome.

The 2025 enVista lens recall includes:

• EnVista Aspire^™ IOL (all models starting with EA)
• EnVista Aspire Toric IOL (all models starting with ETA)
• EnVista Envy^™ IOL (all models starting with EN)
• EnVista Envy Toric IOL (all models starting with ETN)
• EnVista Monofocal Toric IOL (all models starting with ETE)
• EnVista Monofocal IOL (all models starting with EE)

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) shared the company’s initial enVista lens recall notice in April and designated it as a Class I recall in May following an investigation into the affected lenses.

Patients who begin experiencing discomfort after IOL surgery are encouraged to contact their eye doctor immediately.

Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome Symptoms​ & Complications

Toxic anterior segment syndrome is a sudden inflammation inside the front part of the eye. This rare condition typically develops 12-48 hours after cataract surgery, though delayed-onset cases have also been reported.

TASS occurs when a toxic substance enters the eye during or after surgery, causing irritation and inflammation. Patients may experience eye pain, swelling, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light in the days after their surgery.

In some cases, toxic anterior segment syndrome may lead to:

• Additional surgeries
• Cornea damage
• Glaucoma
• IOL removal
• Pain
• Vision loss

EnVista IOL lawsuits claim that defects in the materials used to manufacture Bausch + Lomb’s IOLs may have triggered these severe inflammatory reactions in the eye.

“When clusters of TASS cases appear across multiple practices, attention must shift toward exogenous agents introduced during surgery — whether they be medications, IOLs, or OVDs.”

While most cases of TASS can be treated with aggressive steroid treatment, some patients may be left with permanent eye damage.

Who Can File an EnVista Lawsuit for Eye Damage?

Patients trust that the medical devices they receive are safe. When a defective device causes injury, those affected may have the right to hold the manufacturer accountable in court.

You may be able to file an enVista lawsuit if you or a loved one:

• Received an intraocular lens implant manufactured by Bausch + Lomb
• Was diagnosed with toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) after surgery

There’s only a limited amount of time to file an IOL lawsuit due to state laws called statutes of limitations, so it’s important to act fast. Once the deadline in your case passes, you won’t be able to seek justice again.
