Abstract
An intraocular lens having a sheet-like support member which can be trimmed by a surgeon to modify the overall diameter of the lens to fit into different sizes of eye chambers. Several sets of support feet are formed on the perimeter of the support member so that the feet at the desired diameter are left untouched by the surgeon's trimming.
