Claim:
1. An intraocular lens comprising: an optic configured to be vaulted posteriorly in the eye after insertion; and at least one plate haptic comprising: a haptic body substantially rigid in a longitudinal direction and having a proximal end relative to said optic and a distal end which haptic comprises a rigid structure embedded in a flexible material and said haptic having a fixed length, wherein the intraocular lens has a uniplanar configuration prior to insertion in an eye and is adapted to transition to a posterior vaulted configuration when implanted wherein the rigid structure has the same length in each configuration and wherein said at least one haptic is capable of resisting bending pressure exerted on its distal end by the ciliary muscle and fibrosis to leave the optic in the same position along an axis.
