28 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 39% from 46 in the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are injury (71.2%) and malfunction (28.8%); across all lens, multifocal intraocular reports (product code MFK) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 16.6%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are scratched material (9.7%), device dislodged or dislocated (5.3%) and malposition of device (3.7%). The patient problems coded most often are blurred vision, visual impairment and visual disturbances. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
