ABSTRACT:
An intraocular lens and the method of its implantation through an incision in the eye. The assembly includes a lens member and a supporting wire initially in disassembled condition and adapted to be introduced independently through a small incision in the eye. The supporting wire has a base portion which is adapted to fit and be mounted behind the iris of the eye, and has a pair of resilient legs projecting from the pupil, forward of the iris which are adapted to receive a lens therebetween snapped into position by resiliently parting the legs while both components are located in the eye and thereby assembling and mounting the intraocular lens in position in the anterior portion of the eye for use.
