ABSTRACT:
A method for attaching haptics to an optic of an intraocular lens including the steps of providing the peripheral edge of the optic with at least one hole, inserting an end of the haptic into the hole, aiming a laser which emits radiation within the visible spectrum which is matched to the absorption spectrum of the haptic at a portion of the haptic within the hole and firing the laser so that the radiation passes through the optic essentially without absorption and is absorbed by the haptic, thereby causing the haptic to swell an amount sufficient to mechanically anchor the end of the haptic within the optic.
