Abstract
An intraocular lens (IOL) with an optical axis is disclosed. Two or more haptics extend from an optical element defining an anterior plane and a parallel posterior plane. The optical axis is tilted at an angle of about 5 degrees with respect to the anterior and posterior planes.
Claims8
An intraocular lens (IOL), comprising:
- a body comprising an optical element defining an optical axis;
- two or more haptics extending from the body and defining an anterior plane and a posterior plane parallel to the anterior plane, the optical axis defined by the optical element tilted at an angle of about 5 degrees with respect to an axis perpendicular to the anterior and posterior planes, the haptics configured to secure the IOL with the optical element centered in an opening in the anterior lens capsule of an eye with one or more of the haptics that define the anterior plane positioned to the anterior of the anterior lens capsule and one or more of the haptics that define the posterior plan positioned to the posterior of the anterior lens capsule;
- and
- one or more features indicating an intended anterior-posterior and nasal-temporal orientation of the IOL in the eye in which a portion of the optical axis extending anterior to the IOL tilts in a nasal direction.
