Claim 11:
12. An intraocular lens (IOL) system, comprising:
a first lens;
a second lens rigidly connected to the first lens by at least one rigid member such that the second lens is a fixed distance, d, from the first lens along an axis;
a third, moveable lens positioned between the first lens and the second lens and adapted to move linearly along the axis in a first direction of the first lens or in a second direction of the second lens to change an optical power of the system; and
an articulating actuator configured to move the third, moveable lens linearly along the axis in response to a force applied by an eye, such that a distance t1 between the center of the third, moveable lens and the first lens along the axis changes by between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm.
