A deformable, artificial intraocular contact lens for implantation into the human
eye to correct normal-vision problems. The lens may be positioned posteriorly from
the iris, resting against the anterior surface of the posterior capsule's natural
lens. Alternatively, the lens may be positioned in the anterior chamber of the
eye. The implanted lens works in conjunction with the cornea and natural lens to
provide proper vision, as a substitute for regular contact lens, spectacles, and
radial keratotomy. The lens may be designed from a rigid or semi-rigid material.
Due to the thinness of the structure, the lens may be rolled and inserted into
the eye, minimizing both the length of the corneal incision and the stretching
of the cornea.
