Abstract

An intraocular lens provided for implantation into an eye, includes a lens body having a central region, haptics for holding the intraocular lens in place within the eye after implantation, and an activatable zone outside the central region. After implantation of the intraocular lens into the eye, the lens body is deformed in the central region and/or at least one of the position, the rotation or the tilt of the intraocular lens within the eye changes upon irradiating only the activatable zone with laser radiation.
