<p>An anterior chamber phakic lens (10, 10') made from elastomeric, foldable, highly biocompatible material. The lens (10, 10') has a generally circular optic (12, 12') and integrally formed plate-style haptics (14, 14') containing an opening into which project a pair of pincer arms (20). The pincer arms (20) are sized and shaped so as to pull away from each other when the lens (10, 10') is folded, and are draw back toward each other when the folded lens (10, 10') is released and allowed to return to its unfolded state. Such movement allows the pincers (20) to gather a small section of the iris so as to hold the lens (10, 10') in place.</p> |
