ABSTRACT:
Clip-on optic assembly for clipping in situ onto a previously implanted intraocular lens to change its optical characteristics without removal from the eye, comprising a lens body having a plurality of spaced apart resilient clip members extending therefrom and outwardly terminating in clips for gripping the implanted lens peripheral edge to clip the assembly thereon. At least one clip is formed as a bent end sufficiently resilient for temporary unbending and displacement over and across the implanted lens peripheral edge to grip the clip thereon, e.g. with the clips being of selected length for maintaining the lens body optical axis concentric or eccentric to the implanted lens optical axis, the assembly upon insertion into the eye being clipped onto the implanted lens such that a bent end clip is last manipulated onto such peripheral edge.
