Abstract:
1. An intraocular lens assembly for increased depth of focus, comprising: a frame having haptics extending oppositely and longitudinally, said haptics having lateral edges disposed on an outer periphery of the frame, said frame being configured to rigidly vault posteriorly in an eye of a person, said frame having end portions to engage in the periphery of the capsular bag of an eye, said frame defining an opening disposed through said frame, said opening positioned between inner portions of said haptics, an optic sized and configurated to engage in an edge portion of said frame opening, and interengaging features on the frame and on the optic for attachment of the optic to the frame for limited anterior optic movement relative to the frame, whereby light refracted by the cornea of the eye travels in an increased distance to the optic to substantially increase depth of focus.
