Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide a good sight during an implant surgery of intraocular lens, and to accurately position the lens into a subject's eye by providing a luminous means for emitting a light when exposing the luminous means under a selected light source with a holding means for holding the lens in the patient's eye.

The lens 10 is implanted into the eye after a natural crystal body is surgically removed. The holding loop 16 is made of a selected fluorescent material such as fluorescein combined with an acrylic textile and the like, this fluorescent material can emit when exposed under a light having a comparatively weak energy such as ultraviolet radiation.
