An intraocular lens has an optic and two fixation members. Each fixation member
has at least one connecting element and a pincer element. The pincer element has
a side region with a central portion and opposed end portions. The pincer element
further has a pair of pincer arms attached end-to-end from respective opposed end
portions of the side region. In one embodiment, the side region has a first location
disposed closer to the optic than the pincer gap and a second side region disposed
further from the optic than the pincer gap. The distance of both side regions to
the central-most portion of the pincer gap is substantially identical.
