Abstract:
1. A lens implant for placement into the lens capsule and for replacing the lens body of an eye, the lens implant being shaped like a natural lens body, with a distal surface and a proximal surface, wherein the distal surface has a stronger curvature than the proximal surface, the lens implant comprising: a first portion comprising a flowable material which can be cured intra-ocularly to an elastically deformable state; and a second portion comprising a solid material having a refractive index or an elastic deformability that differs from the one of the first portion wherein the second portion forms the distal surface, and wherein the first portion forms the proximal surface, wherein a diameter of the first portion perpendicular to a focal axis of the lens exceeds a diameter of the second portion.
