## Why This Recall is Important
The Implant Orientation Diagram (IOD) is a vital tool for surgeons performing EVO/EVO+ Toric ICL implantation surgeries. It provides detailed guidance on the accurate placement of lenses, ensuring optimal vision correction for patients.
Although the incorrect diagrams do not affect the integrity of the lenses themselves, using inaccurate IOD printouts could result in:
- **Misaligned lens implantations**
- **Suboptimal surgical outcomes**
- **Potential need for follow-up surgeries**
- **Increased risk to patient safety during procedures**
This recall serves as a precautionary measure to prevent such issues and ensure that all surgical guidelines are followed with precision.
