Claim:
1. A foldable intraocular lens, comprising: an optical lens portion having a center, an outer peripheral edge that defines a continuous convex curve, and only first and second indentations that are each closer than the continuous convex curve to the center; a first haptic extending from the first indentation such that a first portion of the first haptic is closer to the center than the continuous convex curve, a second portion of the first haptic is farther from the center than the continuous convex curve, the first haptic has first and second side edges that both extend from the first portion of the first haptic to the second portion of the first haptic, and the first indentation is only associated with one of the first and second side edges of the first haptic; a second haptic extending from the second indentation such that a first portion of the second haptic is closer to the center than the continuous convex curve, a second portion of the second haptic is farther from the center than the continuous convex curve, the second haptic has first and second side edges that both extend from the first portion of the second haptic to the second portion of the second haptic, and the second indentation is only associated with one of the first and second side edges of the second haptic; wherein the optical lens portion and the first portions of the first and second haptics are formed from a first material, and at least a part of the second portions of the first and second haptics that are located adjacent to the first portions of the first and second haptics are formed from a second material that is harder than the first material.
