A scleral fixation bag (10) includes haptics (12) that extend therefrom. The haptics (12) are inserted and affixed into sclerotomies formed in the eye. The haptics (12) affix the scleral fixation bag (10) without a need for natural capsular bag support. The haptics (12) of the scleral fixation bag (10) include a slender loop element (14) and a distal hook portion (20) that extends from a distal end of the slender loop element (14). The distal hook portion (20) has an anterior edge (22) tilted towards the central anterior-posterior axis (18) of the scleral fixation bag (10).
