Intravitreous self adaptive stent

A method for securing a natural or synthetic intraocular lens in an eye, the method comprising:

• inserting a cannula through an anterior portion of an eye;
• feeding an intravitreous stent through the cannula and into the eye;
• and
• contacting a natural or synthetic intraocular lens with the intravitreous stent to fix a position of the lens within the eye;
• wherein:
• the intravitreous stent comprises:
• a multi-loop single wire comprising:
• a proximal end;
• a distal end;
• at least a first loop defined by the proximal end and a first portion of the single wire;
• at least a second loop defined by the distal end and a second portion of the single wire, wherein the second loop comprises a sinusoidal wave configured to perpendicularly contact a retina of an eye, such that one or more zenith points or nadir points of the sinusoidal wave are configured to contact the retina;
• and
• wherein:
• the first portion is joined to the second portion via a reversing loop portion;
• the second loop has a diameter that is larger than that of the first loop;
• and
• the intravitreous stent is self adaptive to a dimension of a vitreous cavity in an eye;
• and wherein the stent is configured to be straightened prior to or during insertion in the eye.
