ABSTRACT:
Vaulted intraocular lens including a method and apparatus for vaulting universally an intraocular lens incorporating any geometrical configuration of closed or open loops attached to a lens such as a plano-convex or the like. The vaulted intraocular lens includes a base for each loop with either flat feet or flipped feet. The method of vaulting includes a fixture assembly including a base, a retainer, and a cap, the base and retainer screwing together and encompassing the lens including the plurality of loops, and the cap fitting down through a hole in the retainer providing gravity pressure against the lens and creating the vault. The vaulted lens, as well as the fixture and method of vaulting the lens, lends itself universally to any type of lens using any predetermined geometrically shaped loops, whether the loops be closed loops or open loops.
