LOW PCO HAPTICS FOR INTRAOCULAR LENS

摘要

The invention provides an intraocular lens comprising a central optical element (5) and at least two haptics (1) positioned in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the eye of which at least one haptic has a substantially & Omega;-shaped structure adapted to be compressed in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis wherein the optical surfaces of the central optical element are smooth over their full areas. These features allow to combine the advantages of the & Omega;-shaped haptics to be combined with those of a lens having two smooth surfaces, like a progressive lens. Two & Omega;-shaped spring-like haptics (6) with different flexibility may be combined with these features, resulting in an accommodating lens when the haptics are mechanically coupled to a structure of the eye subject to movements like the sulcus or the capsular bag.
