ABSTRACT:
An intraocular lens for implantation in an eye comprising a deformable silicone optic configured so that the optic can be deformed to permit the intraocular lens to be passed through a scleral tunnel incision no longer than about 3.2 mm into the eye. The intraocular lens can be provided in a range of diopter powers. When the intraocular lens is implanted in the eye, the optic has sufficient rigidity to be substantially free of optical distortion resulting from force from the eye acting on the intraocular lens and the optic is of sufficient size to substantially prevent glare resulting from interaction of light and the periphery of the optic.
