ABSTRACT:
An intraocular lens for replacing the natural lens of an eye including a pair of flexible loops connected to and projecting from the optic portion on one side of the first axis, adapted for supporting the IOL in the eye. The loops include outer end portions that terminate outwardly from the peripheral edge and on opposite sides of the second axis. A stabilizing member(s) is connected to and projects from the optic portion on the other side of the first axis from where the loops are connected, adapted for stabilizing the IOL in the eye. The flexible loops and stabilizing member(s) is shaped and dimensioned so that when the loops are moved toward the peripheral edge the outer end portions do not extend beyond the stabilizing member(s).
