Add-on intraocular lens

A posterior chamber add-on intraocular lens (IOL) for being implanted into a pseudo-phakic eye, comprising:

• an anterior surface and a posterior surface;
• a central optical part comprising a lens, and
• extending radially relative to an optical axis directed from the anterior surface to the posterior surface;
• a peripheral haptic part
• circumferentially mounted on the central optical part,
• extending radially outward and posteriorly relative to the central optical part, and
• comprising distal support elements arranged for supporting the IOL on a ciliary zonule when the IOL is in an implantation position in an eye;
• at least one elongated flexible footplate extending radially beyond the peripheral haptic part, and comprising a first extremity mounted on the peripheral haptic part;
• wherein:
• the elongated flexible footplate comprises:
• a second extremity mounted on one of the support elements;
• and
• a distal lateral border extending circumferentially and radially outward relative to the central optical part, and
• arranged for stabilizing the IOL into a ciliary body when the IOL is in the implantation position in the eye;
• and said one of the support elements comprises a manipulation pocket on the anterior surface, at least partially radially aligned with the elongated flexible footplate, and dimensioned for cooperating with a tip of a manipulation tool by a keyed engagement of the tip into the pocket, so that a moving of the elongated flexible footplate can be induced by a moving of the tool.
