Abstract:
An intraocular lens having an optic portion and a plurality of fixation members coupled thereto. The optic portion includes an optic and a pair of outwardly extending flanges. The fixation members are relatively more rigid than the optic and attach to the flanges. The flanges provide lines of force transmission between pairs of fixation members so that compressive forces are not transmitted through the optic, therefore reducing vaulting. The fixation members may be bonded or mated to the flanges. A bridge between two opposed fixation members may be provided to form a fixation system, the bridges being attached to the flanges.
Flexible Fixation Members For Angle-Supported Anterior Chamber Intraocular Lenses
An intraocular lens having an optic and a plurality of fixation members coupled to the optic. The fixation members are adapted to flex about points located closer to the outer edge of the IOL than to the optic. The fixation members may have a converging width intermediate region projecting outward from the optic and a pair of leg portions extending generally perpendicularly thereto. The leg portions include foot members and flex radially inward with respect to the intermediate region. Because the optic and intermediate regions are relatively stable, the leg portions flex inward but the optic does not vault or bow upon a compressive fit within the surrounding eye.

Officers Shawn Carson and Robert Nguyen died in the line of duty on Dec. 25, 2005 but they died in an unfathomable tragedy. On that foggy night, they had driven to the Kearny side of the Lincoln Highway Bridge to deliver road flares. They didn't realize the bridge had been raised when they began dri
