594 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Clareon PanOptix Trifocal Hydrophobic Intraocular Lens" (lens multifocal intraocular); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Alcon Laboratories Ireland; received from February 2022 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

159 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 23% from 207 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 (53.2%) and malfunction (46.8%); 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 (14.1%), break (11.8%) and material split, cut or torn (6.4%). The patient problems coded most often are blurred vision, visual disturbances and visual impairment. 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."
