ABSTRACT:
An intraocular lens assembly used to replace the natural lens in the eye. The assembly comprises a preferably soft optical lens, a resilient housing having an aperture through which the lens can be inserted into or removed from the housing, and a resilient support comprising a central ring coupled to the housing and a pair of support arms extending outwardly from the ring. The assembly is readily foldable for insertion into the eye through a small incision, can support the soft optical lens without sagging and distortion, and allows the optical lens to be easily replaced.
