Abstract (en)
[origin: WO03007849A1] The invention represents a deformable artificial intraocular lens for implantation into the human eye. The lens (10) is used for implantation after cataract surgery. The lens optic consists of one smooth optical surface. The second optical surface is a series of annular concentric rings (14). The rings allow the lens to have extremely thin edges, which reduce glare, halos, and distortion. The extremely thin lens optic along with the thin haptic can be rolled, folded, or squeezed to pass through a small incision in the cornea or sclera of the human eye.
