Abstract

The present invention provides a fixture for supporting a two optic accommodating intraocular lens device. The fixture is capable of holding the device while taking measurements or performing manufacturing process steps on the device. In a preferred embodiment, the fixture supports the device along the periphery of the posterior optic thereof such that the haptics and anterior optic extend freely therefrom. As such, testing and/or processing of the optics during their accommodative and unaccomodative positions may be taken.
