Method for creating incisions to improve intraocular lens placement

An intraocular lens assembly for positioning in a lens capsule of a patient's eye, comprising:

• a lens optic assembly including an optic portion and a surface surrounding a sidewall of the optic portion, the lens optic assembly being shaped for positioning in a capsulorhexis incision in the patient's lens and focusing light passing therethrough, wherein the optic portion comprises a lens having a registration feature in a peripheral edge of the lens;
• two spring haptics, each haptic being coupled to the lens optic assembly at a different juncture, each haptic comprising a first end coupled to the lens optic assembly and second end disposed outward from and unconnected to the lens optic assembly, the two spring haptics being shaped for supplying a spring force to the lens optic assembly within the lens capsule of the patient's eye when the lens is implanted therein.
