ABSTRACT:
An intraocular lens for surgical implantation in the eye includes a lens body, posterior loops extending from the lens body for orienting the lens body in the eye's anterior chamber and a novel clip joined to the lens body. The clip extends into an iridectomy provided in the iris, when the lens body is implanted, in a nonstressed condition to thereby attach the iris to the lens body, flexing of the clip being required prior to its being extended into the iris. A surgical tool having an elongated means with a longitudinal bore therethrough slideably receives the clip in a flexed stressed condition while simultaneously holding the lens body for implantation and positioning within the anterior chamber. After proper positioning, the tool is removed and the stressed clip will spring back through the iridectomy to its nonstressed condition for attaching the lens to the iris.
