ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an easily insertable intraocular lens including attachment means of various types disposed on the lens body for connecting the haptic to the lens body during insertion of the lens into the eye, thus reducing the overall radial extend of the lens. The haptic may have a snag-resistant loop which is held by the attachment means or a second attachment means which connects to the first. The lens also may have a haptic made from at least two different materials.
