2. Description of the Related Art An intraocular lens to be implanted in an eye instead of a crystalline lens whose function is impaired by a cataract or the like is composed of a substantially circular lens portion and a support portion for supporting the lens portion in the eye. However, in general, a one-piece intraocular lens is one in which the support portion and the lens portion are integrally formed of the same material,
This is distinguished from a two-piece or three-piece intraocular lens in which the support portion is formed separately from the lens portion and is fixed to the lens portion.

In this case, since the supporting portion of the two-piece or three-piece intraocular lens is made of a material different from that of the lens portion, the supporting portion is made of a material having sufficient elasticity and flexibility, and at the same time, having sufficient elasticity. It is possible to relatively freely select a material having various strengths. On the other hand, since it is necessary to provide a mounting hole or the like for fixing the support portion to the lens portion, the effective area of the lens portion is limited, and the manufacturing process is relatively complicated.

In this respect, the one-piece intraocular lens does not need to be provided with a mounting hole or the like in the lens portion, so that a large effective area of the lens portion can be secured and the manufacturing process can be relatively simplified. It has become possible to be. However, in the one-piece intraocular lens, since the supporting portion must be made of the same material as the lens portion, the degree of freedom in selecting the material is limited, and a material that has sufficient elasticity and flexibility and strength is not necessarily required. Can't choose. For this reason, conventionally, attempts have been made to provide elasticity, flexibility and strength by forming the support portion into an appropriate shape.

However, the above-mentioned conventional disc type intraocular lens is of a type which is not provided with a closed curve portion in the support portion but only includes a support arm portion along an open curve (for example, a special table). Compared with Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-503253), there is a drawback that the insertion cannot be done unless the incision is large when inserting it into the eye. That is, if the closed curve portion is a perfect circle, the size of the incision needs to be substantially equal to the diameter of the perfect circle, and the incision needs to be much larger than the size of the lens part. Also, if the closed curve portion is made polygonal or elliptical, the incision can be made smaller than in the case of making it a perfect circle, but it will be much larger than that of the support curve portion having the above open curve. There is a need. Moreover, if you make it polygonal or elliptical,
After insertion into the eye, the shape of the lens capsule, which should be a perfect circle, becomes a shape similar to a polygon or an ellipse, causing distortion, and the corners of the closed curve part locally cover a part of the lens capsule. There is also a problem that it is not preferable because it is strongly pressed.
