ABSTRACT:
An artificial intraocular lens (10) for encapsulation in the posterior chamber of an eye includes a generally triangular base element (12) with an optic element (14) positioned therein and a pin (22) extending outwardly from one corner thereof. Following extraction of the natural lens, the artificial lens (10) is positioned in the capsular sac with the optic element (14) posterior to the pupil and secured in place by a combination of tissue scarring within the capsular sac and superior clipping of the lens (10) to the iris with the pin (22). Another embodiment (30) includes an optic element (34) mounted in a support element (32) having two pins (42) extending outwardly from the corners thereof.
