According to the present invention the artificial eye lens comprises a supporting element made up of two components. The first of these is made as an arc-shaped loop 3 fixed with its ends in the lateral surface of the lens 2 and situated around at least half the length of the lens circumference, being spaced apart from the lens surface a distance equal to the thickness of the iris. The second component of the supporting element is essentially a U-shaped leg 4 which is likewise fixed with its ends in the lens lateral surface and is arranged opposite to the middle portion of the loop 3. The leg 4 is so bent towards the loop as to contact the latter prior to implanting the lens in the posterior eye chamber. (Fig. 3). <IMAGE>
