A posterior chamber phakic lens (10) made from an elastomeric, foldable, highly biocompatible material. The lens (10) has a generally circular optic (12) and a pair of integrally formed haptics (14). The haptics (14) project posteriorly from the optic (12). A plurality of holes or slots (16) are formed along the edge of the optic (12) and along the length of the haptics (14). A soft, highly biocompatible material may be placed in the holes or slots (16) by a friction fit or a primary/secondary molding process. Such a construction helps to avoid pupillary blockage, allows for improved aqueous flow around the natural lens and provides a spacer (18) to hold the lens (10) away from the anterior capsular and the iris. |
