Devices and methods for providing capsular support to areas of zonular weakness and for iris dilation in complex cataract surgery and other ophthalmological procedures. In one embodiment, a device for implantation into an eye includes at least one engagement feature and at least one attachment mechanism. The engagement feature is adapted to engage with the edge of an ocular structure, e.g., the anterior edge of the capsular bag or an iris. The attachment mechanism, e.g., a hole, is coupled to the engagement feature and adapted to receive an anchor, e.g., an iris hook or suture, that biases the device towards the edge of the ocular structure.
