An intraocular lens includes an optic adapted to focus light toward a
retina of an eye, and at least one fixation member configured to at least
assist in supporting the optic in the eye. The fixation member includes a
proximal portion coupled to the optic and a distal portion configured to
be in contact with eye tissue when the intraocular lens is in use in the
eye. The proximal portion of the fixation member includes at least one
first area formed of a first, substantially rigid material, and at least
one second area formed of a second material which is more flexible than
the first material.
