1. An apparatus comprising:
an intraocular pseudophakic contact lens comprising:
an optical lens; and
haptics extending radially from the optical lens, the haptics configured to be inserted under an anterior leaflet of a capsular wall in an eye in order to capture and confine the haptics under the anterior leaflet;
wherein anterior surfaces of the haptics comprise textured capsular wall-engaging surfaces configured to contact an inner capsular wall surface at the anterior leaflet, 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 contact at least one edge of an artificial intraocular lens and capture the artificial intraocular lens between the ridges to secure the intraocular pseudophakic contact lens to the artificial intraocular lens;
wherein different portions of the optical lens provide different amounts of magnification;
wherein the anterior surface of each haptic includes (i) a first surface portion proximate to the optical lens and angled posteriorly with respect to an anterior surface of the optical lens and (ii) a second surface portion distal from the optical lens and angled outwardly with respect to the first surface portion of the haptic; and
wherein the anterior surface of each haptic includes one or more divots or holes, the one or more divots or holes of each haptic sized and configured to receive a portion of a surgical tool in order to facilitate placement of the haptic under the anterior leaflet.
