Intraocular lens and method of forming the lens

摘要

An intraocular lens formed of a soft, resilient polymeric optical element and a resilient polymeric support having an annular portion embedded in the optical element and a pair of mounting arms extending outwardly of the optical element. The optical element and support can be folded for insertion into the eye via a small incision. The support is embedded in the optical element during molding and polymerization of the optical element.
