Patent ID: 8734510

Claim:
An intraocular lens configured for implantation in a capsular bag after ablation of a crystalline lens, comprising: a central optic portion having a posterior surface with a sharp ridge at a periphery of the optic portion; and a haptic portion comprising anteriorly angulated haptic elements arranged at the periphery of the optic portion for positioning the intraocular lens in the capsular bag, so that the sharp ridge includes portions of the periphery of the optic portion at a junction with the haptic elements; and a posterior face of the haptic elements comprising a proximal zone at a junction with the periphery of the optic portion, each of the proximal zones comprising at least one tooth extending over substantially a whole width of each haptic element, the at least one tooth having a sharp edge designed to indent a posterior capsule in order to limit migration of epithelial cells from the haptic elements to the optic portion.
