A device for maintaining the normal depth of a posterior chamber of the eye. One or more spacers are implantation in the lens capsule of a patient at a position anterior to an implanted posterior intraocular lens following removal of the natural crystalline lens. The spacer or at least one spacer has an outer diameter approximating the diameter of the lens capsule prior to removal of the crystalline lens. The one or more spacers in combination with the intraocular lens produce a depth for the lens capsule approximating the depth of the lens capsule prior to removal of said crystalline lens. The one or more spacers may be configured to prevent epithelial cell migration.
