TWO PART L- OR S-SHAPED PHAKIC IOL

摘要

A two part IOL with a generally "L" or "S" shape but featuring straight or curved "V"-shaped structures which can be inserted through a very small opening by flexing the arms of the "V"-shaped structures up to or over each other is described. This IOL may be used in the anterior or posterior chamber of the eye for phakic or aphakic lenses. After insertion of the haptic (110) into the eye (1), any type of lens (200) may be attached, especially by use of cleats (300) and an eyelet (400). The haptic (110) is a high modulus skeletal frame and the lens (200) is preferably formed of a lower modulus material and is attachable to cleats (300) on the frame (110).
