Abstract
An intraocular lens assembly for implantation in the posterior chamber of an eye has anchor portions with teeth rigid enough to penetrate the scleral wall of an eye. A method for implanting the lens includes the steps of: introducing the first haptic portion with a first anchor portion that includes a plurality of teeth projecting therefrom, into the posterior chamber of the eye until said teeth are anchored in the scleral wall at a desired location; and moving a second haptic portion with a plurality of teeth projecting therefrom, until said teeth are anchored in the scleral wall on the opposite side of the lens from the first anchor portion.
