Patent ID: 6991651

Claim:
An adjustable intraocular lens system for an individual's eye, said intraocular lens system comprising: a. a primary intraocular lens having an optic with an optical axis, a peripheral edge, an anterior surface and a posterior surface, said primary intraocular lens optic having a primary optical power, said primary intraocular lens having a slit formed in and through the primary intraocular lens optic, the slit extending into the anterior surface and out of the peripheral edge of said optic, said optic including an optic region overhanging the slit and anterior surface, said optic further having attachment means fixed to said optic for maintaining said optical axis centered along the optical axis of an individual's eye; and b. a secondary intraocular lens having an optic with an anterior surface and a posterior surface, said optic having a secondary optical power and having a narrow attachment tab extending generally radially outwardly from a peripheral edge of the secondary intraocular lens optic, said attachment tab being sized to penetrate generally radially the primary intraocular lens optic slit with the tab lying under the overhanging optic region and the secondary intraocular lens optic posterior surface laying against the primary intraocular lens optic anterior surface, whereby said secondary intraocular lens optic power provides optical power correction to the primary intraocular lens optic power.
