ABSTRACT:
A new intraocular lens (IOL) is disclosed. In one embodiment, this IOL comprises an optic and, secured to the optic, a fixation member including at least one alterable portion structured to be altered after the intraocular lens is placed in an eye to at least assist in controllably repositioning the optic in the eye.
