ABSTRACT:
An aspheric soft intraocular lens, having an optical power surface, which may have multiple radii portions or aspherical portions, as well as spherical portions, intended to replace the crystalline lens of a patient's eye, in particular after a cataract extraction. Such an aspheric soft lens is molded in a coined mold. A pair of core pins, positioned within the mold cavity during the lens forming process, will produce a pair of haptic-mounting holes within the lens. As the lenses are subsequently tumbled to remove flash, indentations will form adjacent to the haptic-mounting holes. These indentations allow for tangential attachment of the haptic to the lens which, in turn, enables maximum flexibility without exceeding the width of the optic.
