Investigation Results
Article content
After a thorough investigation in collaboration with a globally recognized toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) expert and an advisory group of nearly 30 top cataract surgeons including American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery leadership, the company determined that the issue stemmed from raw material used in certain lots that was delivered by a different vendor. The tight correlation between the lots in question and reported TASS cases is clear, as highlighted in the recall timeline.
Article content
Bausch + Lomb continues to share its findings with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and other regulatory authorities.
Article content
In response to the investigation, Bausch + Lomb has implemented enhanced inspection protocols for IOLs, as well as more explicit standards for how the monomers that make up its lenses are prepared by vendors.

With these new processes in place, Bausch + Lomb has returned to full production of all enVista IOLs. In the following weeks the company will return to full market supply in the U.S.; timing for market reentry in other countries will be determined on a case-by-case basis in collaboration with health authorities.

Keyera doubles natural gas volumes to be shipped via AltaGas terminal in B.C.
CALGARY – Keyera Corp. has reached an agreement to double the volume of liquefied petroleum gas it plans to export through a West Coast export facility being built by AltaGas Ltd. AltaGas said in February that Keyera had contracted 12,500 barrels per day of capacity to ship the gas to Asia via the Ridley Island Energy Export Facility near Prince Rupert, B.C. The companies announced Monday that will rise to 25,000 barrels per day under 15-year tolling agreements. The facility is to be used to export propane and butane in its first phase, with the possibility of expanding into ethane and other valuable liquids in the future. It's being built next to a propane export facility AltaGas already operates on Ridley Island. AltaGas says the uncertain trade environment has underscored the need for Canadian companies to diversify their export markets beyond the United States. 'AltaGas provides its customers the opportunity for protection against tariff and counter-tariff impacts and ensures access to the highest priced global markets,' it said. 'As Canadian upstream production continues to grow, we believe it is critical to connect more of Canada's vital energy products to premium global markets for the benefit of all Canadians.'
