A method of molding a deformable optic for a soft intraocular lens in which the optic has an opening therein for securely receiving a filamentary fixation member is disclosed. The method includes positioning a wire-like insert member in a mold for the optic at a location corresponding to the desired location of the opening, filling the mold about the wire-like insert member with a curable material selected to form the deformable optic, curing the material, and removing the wire-like insert member from the cured, molded optic.

Haptic attachment for soft intraocular lens

A soft intraocular lens with an insert which can be molded into an optic having an optic attachment member embedded in the optic and a haptic attachment member extending out of the optic to which a haptic may be connected. The insert permits the easy attachment of the haptic to the optic without subjecting the haptic material to the rigors of the processes by which the soft optic is made.
