Abstract:
In an intraocular lens for permanent implantation into the anterior chamber of any size of aphakic human eye, a lens optic portion is centrally placed and maintained in position in the anterior chamber of the eye by a plurality of flexible haptics connected to the lens optic portion, either directly or connected through a cylinder-spring arrangement, which allows the lens to be inserted in the eye through a very small incision, no greater than the smallest diameter of the lens optic portion. A rounded rectangular shape of lens optic is also described. The lens may alternatively be implanted into the posterior chamber of the eye.
