Cornea-supported artificial intraocular lens

Abstract

Disclosed is an artificial intraocular lens attachable to the cornea. Made of a biocompatible material such as poly(methyl methacrylate), silica or acryl resin, the artificial intraocular lens comprises an asymmetrical optical part, two supports extended from opposite sides of the optical part; and plate- or ring-shaped, fixing parts having at least one hole, positioned at terminal parts of the supports.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A cornea-supported artificial intraocular lens, made of a biocompatible material, comprising: 
 an asymmetrical optical part;    two supports extended from opposite sides of the optical part; and    plate- or ring-shaped, fixing parts having at least one hole, positioned at terminal parts of the supports.    
     
     
         2 . The cornea-supported, artificial intraocular lens as set forth in    claim 1   , wherein the biocompatible material is selected from the group consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate), silica, and acryl resin.  
     
     
         3 . The cornea-supported, artificial intraocular lens as set forth in    claim 1   , wherein the asymmetrical optical part has a truncated circular shape.
