Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03037225A1] The invention concerns an intraocular refractive lens comprising an optic portion (34) with an outer peripheral edge (36) and one or more, preferably two, three or four equidistant haptic elements (38). Each haptic element (38) has the same shape, with a trapezoid or rhomboid cross-section. The edge of the outer rear surface of each haptic element (38) and the edge of the rear optic element are shaped like acute angles to prevent posterior capsular opacification.
