By way of example, not necessarily limitation, the following dimensions are provided with reference to alternative base 55A illustrated in FIGS. 3A-3E. In FIG. 3A, diameter A1 may be 13.00±0.02 mm, diameter A2 may be 8.50±0.10 mm, diameter A3 may be 7.00±0.051 mm, diameter A4 may be 6.30±0.051 mm, diameter A5 may be 5.50±0.15/−0.05 mm, and diameter A6 may be 7.92 mm. In FIG. 3B, dimension B1 may be 0.615±0.020 mm. In FIG. 3D, dimension D1 may be 0.15 mm, dimension D2 may be 0.17 mm, dimension D3 may be 0.75 mm, dimension D4 may be 0.35 mm, dimension D5 may be 0.08 mm, and dimension D6 may be 0.30±0.02 mm. In FIG. 3E, dimension E1 (width of cutouts 91A) may be 1.48 mm, dimension E2 (diameter at outer edge of notches 93A) may be 6.62 mm, dimension E3 (inside diameter of upper rim 93) may be 6.25 mm, and dimension E4 (radian of cutouts 91A) may be 30 degrees.
With continued reference to FIG. 5D, the side-by-side cartridges 108A and 1086 slide laterally inside the slot extensions 109A and 1096 to align the base 55 contained in cartridge 108A with the lumen of the barrel 102 when pushed in a first position (down position as shown), and to align the lens 65 contained in cartridge 1086 with the lumen of the barrel 102 when pushed into a second position (up position, not shown). Initially, cartridge 108A containing base 55 is pushed into the slot extension 109A and into the barrel 102. Upon advancement of the plunger 104 inside the barrel 102, the distal end of the plunger 104 pushes the base 55 out of cartridge 108A, out of the distal end 106 of the injector 100 and into the eye. Plunger 104 may then be retracted into its original position (as shown). Subsequently, cartridge 108B is pushed into slot extension 109B and into the barrel 102, pushing empty cartridge 108A out of the barrel 102 and into slot extension 109A. Plunger 104 may then be advanced inside the barrel 102 to push the lens 65 out of cartridge 1086, out of the distal end 106 of the injector 100 and into the eye. The lens 65 may then be attached to the base 55 inside the eye. The cartridges 108A and 108B may be slid manually as described or may be automatically moved, for example, using a spring to bias to push cartridge 1086 containing lens 65 into the barrel 102 when the plunger 104 is retracted after delivering the base 55 from cartridge 108A.
1. A method of implanting an intra-ocular lens (IOL) in an eye having a capsular bag with an internal volume, the method comprising:
positioning the IOL in the capsular bag, the IOL including:
an optic having a central visual axis and a central thickness along the central visual axis, and
an annular ring surrounding the optic, the annular ring including:
a first rim surrounding the optic, and
a second rim surrounding the optic and disposed opposite the first rim, the first rim and the second rim flaring outwardly toward the central visual axis from the periphery, the first rim and the second rim establishing an anterior-posterior thickness of the annular ring that is greater than the central thickness of the optic,
wherein positioning the IOL in the capsular bag includes orienting the first rim anteriorly and the second rim posteriorly in the eye; and
filling between about 25% to about 50% of the volume of the capsular bag with the IOL.
2. The method of claim 1, further including engaging the capsular bag with one or more haptics extending from the periphery of the annular ring.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first rim includes an inner posterior edge, the second rim includes an inner anterior edge, and a distance between the inner posterior edge and the inner anterior edge is about 1.5 to about 2 times greater than an anterior-posterior thickness of the optic at a periphery of the optic.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein an inner anterior-posterior thickness of the annular ring is at least twice as large as an outer anterior-posterior thickness of the annular ring.
9. A method of implanting an intra-ocular lens (IOL) in an eye having a capsular bag with an internal volume, the method comprising:
wherein positioning the IOL in the capsular bag includes orienting the first rim anteriorly and the second rim posteriorly in the eye, and
wherein positioning the IOL in the capsular bag includes assembling the optic to the annular ring.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the first rim includes an inner posterior edge, the second rim includes an inner anterior edge, and a distance between the inner posterior edge and the inner anterior edge is about 1.5 to about 2 times greater than an anterior-posterior thickness of the optic at a periphery of the optic.
16. The method of claim 9, wherein an inner anterior-posterior thickness of the annular ring is at least twice as large as an outer anterior-posterior thickness of the annular ring.
17. A method of implanting an intra-ocular lens (IOL) in an eye having a capsular bag with an internal volume, the method comprising:
an first angled rim surrounding the optic,
a second angled rim surrounding the optic, the first angled rim and the second angled rim establishing a thickness of the annular ring, the annular ring having a first anterior-posterior thickness at a first distance from the central longitudinal axis, and the annular ring having a second anterior-posterior thickness at a second distance from the central longitudinal axis, the second distance being greater than the first distance, the first anterior-posterior thickness being greater than the second anterior-posterior thickness, and the first anterior-posterior thickness being greater than the central thickness of the optic; and
filling between about 25% and about 50% of a volume of the capsular bag with the IOL.
18. The method of claim 17, wherein orienting the IOL in the capsular bag includes orienting the first angled rim anteriorly, and orienting the second angled rim posteriorly.
19. The method of claim 17, wherein the annular ring and the optic are discrete components and wherein positioning the IOL in the capsular bag includes assembling the optic to the annular ring.
20. The method of claim 17, further including engaging the capsular bag with one or more haptics extending from a periphery of the annular ring.
21. The method of claim 17, wherein the first angled rim is angled anteriorly toward the central longitudinal axis and the second angled rim is angled posteriorly toward the central longitudinal axis.
22. The method of claim 17, wherein an inside diameter of the second angled rim is less than an inside diameter of the first angled rim.
