An intraocular lens (10) capable of being manipulated by a pulling tool (50) through a limbal incision in the eye, which utilizes an optical portion. The optical portion (12) takes the form of a flexible transparent body (12). A fixation element (16) is also employed in the present invention for positioning the lens (10) in an interior segment of the eye. The fixation means (16) may consist of at least one appendage (18, 20) which is connected to the optical portion (12). The optical portion (12) further possesses an engagement zone (22, 24) for permitting the exertion of a force adjacent the optical portion (12) by a pulling tool (50). The integrity of the optical portion (12), and/or the fixation element (16) is maintained by reinforcement or strengthening of the same against forces exerted by the pulling tool (50).
