ABSTRACT:
A posterior chamber intraocular lens having position-fixation legs extending from the lens body and having a suture loosely engaging one of the legs and extending through an aperture in the lens body. Prior to insertion of the lens into a human eye, the surgeon tightens the suture to deform said position-fixation leg to a position adjacent the lens body to facilitate passing that position-fixation leg through the pupil and by the iris for seating in the cul-de-sac between the anterior and posterior capsules after the other position-fixation leg is seated in such cul-de-sac.
