1. An apparatus comprising:
an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens comprising:
an optical lens; and
haptics extending radially from the optical lens and configured to contact a capsular bag in an eye in order to secure the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens against an artificial intraocular lens;
wherein the optical lens comprises a central portion and at least one annular portion surrounding the central portion, the central and annular portions configured to provide different optical powers;
wherein anterior surfaces of the haptics comprise capsular wall-engaging surfaces configured to contact an inner capsular wall surface at an anterior leaflet of the capsular bag, the capsular wall-engaging surfaces configured to promote confinement, capture, or attachment of the haptics;
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 of the capsular bag against the outer portions of the haptics.
