ABSTRACT:
An intraocular lens having a lens body which is adapted to pass through the iris of an eye and a pair of pliable loops, each having a generally planar mounting end located at one end thereof and which terminates at the opposite end thereof in a supporting end extending at a selected acute angle from the mounting end wherein the mounting end is formed into a generally arcuate shape which terminates in a protuberant member having a predetermined length which extends substantially normal from the plane of said mounting end in a direction of the angle defined by the supporting end and wherein the supporting end has the distal end thereof formed into an arcuate-shaped loop located in a plane which extends substantially at the selected angle and wherein the pair of pliable loops have the protuberant members affixed posteriorally to the lens body at selected locations wherein the arcuate-shaped mounting ends define a posterior capsule barrier which is adapted to be positioned contiguous to a posterior capsule of an eye while being capable of defining a space between the lens and the posterior capsule of the eye.
