An intraocular implant of the type having a lens (12) and one or more flexible lens retaining legs (16) extending therefrom for seating in an eye chamber, in which the free end of at least one of the legs (16) has means for latching engagement with a co-operating latching portion (30) on the periphery (14) of the lens, which is so positioned circumferentially on the peripheral portion that when the end of the leg is latched therein, the leg is flexed around the edge of the peripheral portion so that the lateral dimension of the implant is substantially no greater than that of the lens and peripheral portion alone thereby facilitating insertion of the implant through an incision into the eye. Preferably the peripheral portion of the lens body has an upwardly projecting leg support member against which the leg bears when it is flexed around the lens body, which controls the amount of bending of the leg and distributes the bending throughout a substantial portion of the length of the leg. <IMAGE> |
