  • Publication number: 20070142912
    Abstract: A refractive intraocular lens adapted to be inserted within the human eye and to work in combination with the human crystalline lens and comprises an optic, a haptic, a riser and a connector. The optic has an anterior side and a posterior side and is adapted to produce a preselected refractive optical effect for the correction of presbyopia. A haptic is connected to the optic for fixating the refractive intraocular lens within the eye. A riser is operatively associated with the haptic for maintaining the optic in spaced relation from the iris. A connector for attaching the intraocular lens to the iris is provided that penetrates less than the entire thickness of the iris.
