A foldable low-compression intraocular lens configured for installation into the anterior chamber of a phakic, pseudophakic or aphakic eye, or a combination thereof. The lens is preferably rolled for insertion through a small corneal incision. Preferably, the implant comprises a resiliently flexible haptic body, an optical lens, and haptics that position the lens within the anterior chamber without excessive compressive forces. The disclosed lens uses refractive or diffractive optics, or a combination of both. One embodiment of the lens contains an optical lens that uses a multi-order diffractive (MOD) structure. An advantage of the disclosed lens is that a single sized device will fit any eye, thus the disclosed invention provides a “one-size-fits-all” intraocular lens. |
