Claim 0:
1. An intraocular lens (IOL), comprising:
an optic comprising an anterior surface and a posterior surface, a circumference of the optic surrounded by an optic edge; and
a plurality of haptics, each attached to the optic at a gusset,
wherein:
each gusset extends beyond the optic edge toward an optic center such that the gusset at least partially overlaps with the anterior surface of the optic,
each gusset is spaced apart along the optic edge and overlaps with only a portion of the circumference of the optic edge, and
each gusset protrudes from only one of the anterior surface or the posterior surface of the optic, and is flush with a surface opposite the anterior surface or the posterior surface, such that a cross section of the gusset is asymmetric with respect to a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of the optic.
