ABSTRACT:
A hole plug for an intraocular lens for insertion into a positioning hole in a posterior chamber lens for reduction of glare, flare, reflection, radial lines or circular disks. The lens plug is opaque. The plug stops light from entering into the positioning hole. Cross-action forceps or other instruments are utilized through an incision to provide support for the optic, as well as pushing the hole plug into the positioning hole. The forceps may include a cavity to hold the plug during the insertion operation. The hole plug can also have an opaque skirt extending beyond the lens in an instance of a lens which does not cover the eye pupil.
