US Patent 7281699 Universal accommodating IOL holder for lens processing and packaging

The present invention provides a holder for supporting a two optic accommodating intraocular lens device. The holder is capable of holding the device while taking measurements or performing manufacturing process steps on the device and/or packaging the device. In a preferred embodiment, the holder supports the device along the haptics thereof such that the optics remain untouched and unobstructed by the holder. As such, testing and/or processing of the optics during their accommodative and unaccomodative positions may be taken, and the device may be safely packaged and shipped with the holder.
