Abstract:
An intraocular lens for implantation in an eye, the intraocular lens comprising:a resiliently deformable optic having an optical axis and being deformable to pass through a small incision into an eye; and at least three fixation members coupled to the optic and structured to be placed in an anterior chamber of a mammalian eye when the intraocular lens is in use, each of the fixation members having a distal end extending radially outwardly from the optic a distance from the optical axis, the distance being substantially the same for all of the fixation members, each of the distal ends being substantially equidistantly spaced apart from the closest circumferentially adjacent distal ends and including a structure enlarged relative to a portion of the elongated fixation member proximal of the distal end.
