Abstract: An artificial intraocular lens of the type intended for placement in the anterior chamber of the eye between the cornea and the iris to enable the eye to focus images upon the retina wherein the lens is supported by means of supporting members such as loops and struts extending both posteriorly and anteriorly of the iris when the lens is in place, the supporting members having inter-connected portions which extend through apertures in the lens, the clearance between the apertures and the portions of the supporting members in the apertures being substantial so that the lens is held by the supporting members without any rigid connection between the supporting members and the lens.
