ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a multi-component intraocular lens implanted in an optical system of a human eye, including one or more foldable removable components, each component being foldable. One component acts as a base lens, including a flange with a slot. Another component acts is an optical assembly that may include a top lens joined to or integrated with a mid lens. The top lens, the mid lens or the optical assembly may include at least one projection that engages the slot of the base lens. The top and mid lenses are manufactured from a material having adhesive properties, wherein the top and mid lenses adhere to each other free of any material or substance being present therebetween.
