ABSTRACT:
An intraocular lens device having a generally planoconvex optic with first and second haptics secured at generally diametrically opposed positions, the haptics being resilient. The posterior surface of the optic is provided with means for selectively releasably retaining the haptics in an inwardly flexed condition just prior to insertion in the patient's eye, the means taking the form of shoulders or slots. After insertion the haptics may be released by a spatula, or alternatively, the optic may be provided with through holes in proximity to the shoulders or slots for enabling insertion of a tool therethrough from the anterior of the device for disengagement of the haptics.
