ABSTRACT:
An intraocular lens assembly for implantation in the eye comprising a lens and first and second support members coupled to the lens and extending to locations spaced radially outwardly of the lens. At least one of the support members comprises a resiliently deformable strand having an outer segment which extends from the lens to a distal location spaced radially outwardly of the lens and an inner segment joined to the outer segment adjacent the distal location and extending to the lens. Major portions of the outer and inner segments are generally parallel, and regions of the parallel portions are curved so that the support member can be easily resiliently deformed toward the lens.
