Intraocular implants

An intraocular implant for a human eye, comprising:

• an optical holder to be surgically implanted within the eye in a certain position where in an axis of the holder extends in the anterior and posterior directions of the eye,
• imaging optical means including a lens on said axis which are disposed to focus light rays entering the eye on the retina of the eye when said holder occupies said certain position in the eye,
• mounting means mounting said optical means on said holder in a manner which accommodates at least one of the following actions by the surgeon during surgery after said holder is implanted in the eye:
• (a) mounting said lens on said holder, and (b) adjusting said lens along said axis relative to the holder to sharply focus said optical means on the retain of the eye, and wherein said mounting means comprise coacting means on said holder and said lens, respectively, which are engagable within the eye by the surgeon to mount the optical means on the holder after the holder and optical means are inserted into the eye and the holder is implanted in the eye,
• said coacting mounting means comprise a first mounting member on said holder and a second mounting member supporting said lens,
• one of said mounting members has an opening parallel to said axis for receiving the other mounting member in a manner which permits relative movement of said mounting members in the direction of said axis, and
• said implant includes means for aiding entrance of said other mounting member into said opening comprising at least one of the following means:
• (a) a hole in said other mounting member adapted to receive an aid extending through said opening for drawing said other mounting member through said opening, and (b) a guide pin on said other mounting member insertable into a guide bore in said one mounting member.
