ABSTRACT:
An anterior chamber intraocular lens implant which is donut-shaped and lacks refractive power in the portion covering the pupil of the eye. The lens includes a circular joint, or hinge, and locking latch for pivoting the two members forming the implant from a first, open position to a second, closed position. Additionally, minute, soft circular haptics are provided for keeping the lens flexible and in position and which allow only those spots to touch the angle structures of the eye. This lens is made of several basic colors that will give the appearance of a different color to an individuals iris.
