Patent ID: 6921415

Claim:
A deformable intraocular corrective lens, comprising: a. an optical portion having a normal shape constructed of a material which is biologically compatible with the natural lens of the eye and for positioning anterior thereof, said optical portion having a predetermined maximum thickness of 0.25 mm under which the material may be rolled without exceeding the elastic limit of the material, said optical portion having a predetermined minimum thickness of 0.0125 mm above which the material retains said normal shape, wherein said deformable intraocular corrective lens is deformable for passage through a corneal incision having a length smaller than a diameter of the deformable intraocular corrective lens; b. said optical portion also having an anterior convex lenticular surface and a posterior surface, wherein said posterior surface comprises a central disk having a predetermined shape which is radially surrounded by a series of annular rings having a predetermined shape, said central disk and said series of annular rings forming a series of radial steps along said posterior surface; wherein an external point of an annular ring of said posterior surface and said anterior lenticular surface have a maximum separation of 0.1 mm; and c. an anchor attached to said optical portion, so that the optical portion is capable of attaching anteriorly to the natural lens of an eye through the anchor.
