ABSTRACT:
An improved intraocular lens is provided for surgical implantation into the eye, wherein the intraocular lens includes a transparent lens body in combination with outwardly projecting support loops of a fluorescing material for enhanced visibility during implantation and in the course of postsurgical examination. In one form, the fluorescing material is integrated with monofilament support loops adapted for attachment to the transparent lens body. In another form, the fluorescing material is compounded with the support loop portions of a one-piece intraocular lens. The fluorescing material is selected to fluoresce for high visibility upon exposure to a selected illumination source, such as a relatively low power ultraviolet light.
