FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ophthalmology. Artificial eye crystalline lens contains optic part and supporting elements. Elastic supporting elements are made composite and consist of ring, whose internal diametre is equal to capsulorexis diametre. To two opposite points of ring from its internal side two systems of arches, symmetrical relative to horizontal optic axis, are connected. Each of arch systems consists of two arch-shaped sections congruent to internal surface of capsule sac, arch-shaped sections are connected to each other in point of bend. One end of each arch-shaped section is connected with the ring, opposite end is connected with posterior optic part surface, facing posterior capsule bag surface.
