4 Design better adapted to variationsin bag diameter A single iol diameter does not take into account the high variability in lens diameters : to mm. This diameter does not always vary with the axial length, the implant must therefore adapt to the bag diameter and not the opposite. This condition is required to guarantee the precision and stability of the refractive result. An implant which adapts to variations in capsular bag diameter will be better positioned in the ciliary diaphragm and on the optical axis.>> The implant adapts to the bagdiameter to ensure centration andcorrect position on the optical axis.

5 >> With better centration and notilting of the haptics or the experiment conducted in wells and on bank eyes (views in Miyake Apple,Liliana Werner laboratory, Salt Lake City) has demonstrated the ADAPTABILITYof the ARTIS design. In 9 to 10 mm wells, corresponding to the largest number of diameters encountered in clinics, the loops deform with no anterior or posterior angulation, keeping the same contact arc. An implant which adapts to the bag (and not the opposite) will be better centered in the bag and better positioned on the optical axis at the required position.
