Zusammenfassung:	An intraocular lens for use an an artificial lens implant is disclosed. The intraocular lens includes an optical lens body (12) having a periphery (13) and two curved, elongated and resilient haptic members (20a, 20b) for positioning and supporting the lens in the eye. Each haptic member has an inner or root end (22a, 22b) and an outer or free end (26a, 26b). The haptic members are integrally formed with the lens body as a one-piece construction at the root ends thereof. The haptic members ertend outwardly from the lens body along an arc exterior to the periphery of the lens body. Each haptic member has at least a portion thereof tapered or reduced in cross sectional dimension in a direction therealong from the root end toward the free end.
