ABSTRACT:
An intraocular lens is provided for implantation in a human eye, preferably after extracapsular cataract extraction, having a lens body and resilient lens centering strands. The strands extend from the lens body and curve behind and underneath a rear surface of the lens body before curving radially outwardly for engaging eye tissue. The portion of the strands curving behind and underneath that rear surface contacts the posterior capsule of the eye and creates a space between the lens body and posterior capsule which prevents damage to the lens body when performing a laser discission of the posterior capsule.
