ABSTRACT:
An improved intraocular lens mounting system for an Iris Clip type of lens. The lens has haptical portions extending laterally from the edges of the lens transversely to the optic axis of the lens. Fibrous material such as Dacron is attached to the outer edges of the haptical portions and provide bases into which the tissue of the iris can grow so as to form a firm anchor for the lens. The lens may also have two or more attached loops projecting in a plane generally parallel to the plane of the lens and to the haptical portions. The loops may be coated or encased in a sleeve of fibrous material and hold the lens in place with respect to the iris until tissue growth into the Dacron material is accomplished.
