Posterior chamber intra-ocular lens with the lens body within a carrier

摘要

A posterior chamber intra-ocular implant in which a lens of a material such as polysulfone or polymethylmethacrylate is lodged in a pocket of a carrier of a material such as silicone or a hydrophilic polymer. Haptic loops extend from the carrier to position the implant in the posterior chamber. Protrusions may be provided on the rear surface of the carrier to space the implant from the posterior capsule.
