Abstract: An implantable artificial intraocular bipod lens comprising a medial light-focusing lens body having fixation elements connected thereto. The fixation elements comprise a pair of elongated relatively thin and narrow legs extending in opposite directions from opposite sides of the lens body. The legs each include three interconnected segments, the corresponding segments of each leg lying in spaced apart parallel relation to one another. The first leg segments are relatively short and extend along substantially tangential lines from opposite sides of the lens body. The second leg segments are relatively longer and extend outwardly away from the lens body and inwardly toward a median line through the lens body. The third leg segments function as foot segments and are relatively short. They are arcuately connected to the outer ends of the second segments and extend outwardly away from the median line in a direction opposite from that of the second segment.

Abstract: An implantable artificial intraocular bipod lens comprising a medial light-focusing lens body having position fixation elements connected thereto. The fixation elements comprise a pair of straight elongated relatively thin and narrow legs extending tangentially in opposite directions from opposite sides of the lens body and lying along generally parallel lines. A relatively thin and narrow arcuate foot is located at the end of each of the legs. Each of the feet is longer and narrower than the width of the leg and preferably thicker than the leg. The feet extend obliquely in opposite directions. Preferably a suture/manipulation hole is provided in at least one of the legs spaced inwardly from the foot.
