1. A system comprising:
an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens configured to be implanted in an eye and mounted on or attached to an artificial intraocular lens in the eye; and
an external lens configured to be positioned in front of the eye;
wherein the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens and the external lens form a telescopic Galilean vision system;
wherein the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens comprises (i) an optical lens and (ii) haptics extending radially from the optical lens and configured to be inserted under an anterior leaflet of a capsular wall in the eye;
wherein posterior surfaces of the haptics comprise ridges configured to capture at least one edge of the artificial intraocular lens; and
wherein the haptics are flexible such that outer portions of the haptics are configured to drive the ridges into the at least one edge of the artificial intraocular lens based on surface pressure from the anterior leaflet against the outer portions of the haptics.
