Posterior chamber capsular lens implant and method for implantation of the lens

A posterior chamber capsular lens implant for implantation within an eye, the lens implant comprising:

• a plano-convex body having two opposed loops affixed at both ends at spaced points along the periphery of the lens, and extending therebetween following along the perimeter of the lens body in order that each loop will impact against the equator of the capsule between the anterior capsular flap and the posterior capsule, said loops each forming a kidney shape defining upper and lower knee portions connected by an intermediate portion, said upper and lower knee portions having outermost extremities spaced from each other a distance significantly greater than the distance between the upper and lower peripheral portions of the lens body so as to extend radially above and below said lens peripheral portions, whereby the loops each have a long radius curve and upper and lower knees which impact against the equator of the lens capsule in order that the lens implant body will be centralized both horizontally and vertically.
