Abstract
A device for controlling the release of retracted haptics on an intraocular lens is described. By controlling the retraction of the haptics, it is possible to obtain a more precise placement of the lens in the eye. The lens is attached to the device by means of sutures, which allows the lens to be safely and conveniently positioned in the eye.
