Abstract
A positive power anterior chamber ocular implant for placement in a phakic eye is disclosed to correct refractive errors caused by hyperopia which includes at least one convex surface and haptics for positioning the lens in the anterior chamber of the eye. Contact between the lens and other anatomic bodies, such as the anatomical lens, the corneal endothelium and iris is avoided, and the haptics avoid contact with the iris.
