ABSTRACT:
A thin foldable intraocular implant specifically configured for installation into the anterior chamber of a phakic or pseudophakic eye has broad positioning flaps that do not apply any substantial pressure against the wall of the eye. It can be rolled for insertion through a corneal incision as small as 2.75 millimeters. The implant is constituted by a resiliently flexible membrane, with an overall thickness as low as 10 microns, that vaults the iris without contacting it.
