Housing for an intraocular lens and method of using the same

摘要

A housing for an intraocular lens having opposed walls and having a lens in at least one of these walls which is the same in magnitude and opposite in sign to the optical power of the lens intended to be housed therein. The housing bears indicia of the optical magnitude and sign of the lens intended to be housed therein. A surgeon can ascertain whether the intended lens is in the housing by viewing an object through the housing walls and through the lens housed therein. There will be substantially no optical distortion if the intended lens is in the housing.
