Disclosed is an intraocular lens (1) comprising a lens element (2) and a plurality of haptics (6, 7) extending therefrom, at least one of the haptics (6, 7) having an anchoring filament (10, 12) with an enlarged complete or partial mushroom-shaped end (9, 13) fixedly disposed inside a passage (14, 15) in the lens element (2). Also disclosed is a method for fixing a haptic (6, 7) having an anchoring filament (10, 12) to a lens element (2) in a soft intraocular lens (1) comprising the steps of a) forming in the lens element (2) a passage (14, 15) having a width that is less than the greatest width of the anchoring filament (10, 12), b) lubricating the anchoring filament (10, 12) of the haptic (6, 7), the passage (14, 15) in the lens element (2), or both, c) inserting the anchoring filament (10, 12), end-first into the passage (14, 15), and d) washing the intraocular lens (1) to remove the lubricant. |
