Abstract
A multi-part IOL which is insertable through an opening as small as about 1 mm without deforming the haptic, is described. This IOL may be used in the anterior chamber of the eye for phakic or aphakic lenses. After insertion of the haptic into the eye, any type of lens may be attached, especially by use of cleats. The haptic is a high modulus skeletal frame, and may be assembled with lower modulus material. An eyelet may be provided on the lens allowing a cleat on the haptic to firmly attach to the optic.
