Abstract
An intraocular lens that is capable of being inserted through a micro-incision includes an optic having an anterior and a posterior surface and a plurality of projections extending from the anterior and posterior surfaces. The anterior and posterior surfaces include a recess. The optic is implanted such that a rim of the capsulorhexis is disposed in the recess such that the plurality of projections grip the capsular bag.
Claims9
An intraocular lens comprising:
- an optic disposed about an optical axis, the optic having an anterior surface and a posterior surface;
- at least one anterior projection coupled to and extending radially from the optic;
- and
- at least one posterior projection adjacent to the at least one anterior projection, wherein the at least one posterior projection is coupled to and extends radially from the optic,
- wherein the anterior and posterior projections are resiliently biased such that distal ends of the anterior projection and the posterior projection can be moved away from and toward each other, and
- wherein, when implanted, the distal ends of at least one of the anterior projection and the posterior projection are configured to grip at least one of an outside surface and an inside surface adjacent to a capsulorhexis on an anterior portion of an evacuated capsular bag.
