Abstract
One-size intraocular lens including a lens optic, one flexible secured loop and an other flexible free-end measured loop. Each loop assumes a U-shaped configuration and can be provided with an appropriate vault whether the lens is implanted into the anterior chamber or the posterior chamber. The lens and loop are constructed from a single monomer such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) providing for stability, low mass, and flexibility in three degrees of freedom, particularly with respect to the ends. A lens template accompanies the lens for cutting the free end of the loop with the unsecured end to a predetermined length for engaging into the tapered hole for a subsequent mechanical frictional engagement therein. The loops are vaulted for a standard vault between the plane of the base of each loop and the plano surface of the lens optic.
