the feet of the haptic element are placed in the sulcus Explanation: Haptic: Means by which the optic portion of a lens is held in position - generally used in scleral lenses. http://www.contamac.com/db/display/glossary The “haptic” (or haptics, haptic element, supporting element...) can be a plate, a loop etc., and it forms an integral part of the lens, supporting it and keeping it in a firm position in the eye. An intraocular lens (IOL) made in accordance with the present invention has an optic portion with an outer peripheral edge and at least one but preferably two or more haptic elements for supporting the optic portion in a patient's eye. The subject IOL is preferably formed of any suitable foldable or compressible IOL material known to those skilled in the art. Each haptic element preferably has an inner portion and an outer portion with the inner portion being connected to the outer peripheral edge of the optic portion. Each haptic element also preferably includes at least one contact plate on the outer portion and a central portion that extends between the contact plate and the inner portion. The contact plates are designed to engage an inner surface of a patient's eye. http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6264693.html …The GBR uses a unique rigid haptic to minimize the risk of vaulting and contact with endothelium. The haptics are designed to provide precise centration and long term stability, while allowing for quick and easy implantation. The haptics also move the optic away from the crystalline lens for sale insertion. http://www.ioltech.com/beta/pressesci/commun/42.html More details: http://www.staar.com/professional_products_cataract_iol.html... http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4468820.html Sulcus: A groove, crevice, or furrow.
