Claim 0:
1. An accommodating intraocular lens assembly comprising:
a first lens configured for positioning in an eye and having a first anterior side and a first posterior side, said first anterior side facing toward a pupil of the eye when said first lens is positioned in the eye and said first posterior side facing away from the pupil of the eye when said first lens is positioned in the eye;
a first stanchion having a first distal end connected to said first lens and extending away from said first lens to a first base end, said first base end configured for positioning within a capsular bag of the eye or in a ciliary sulcus or on a ciliary muscle of the eye whereby contraction of the ciliary muscle during accommodation of the eye moves said first base end towards an optic axis of the eye;
a second lens configured for positioning in the eye with said first lens and having a second anterior side and a second posterior side, said second anterior side facing said first posterior side when said first lens and said second lens are positioned in the eye and said second posterior side facing into to the eye when said second lens is positioned in the eye;
a second stanchion having a second distal end connected to said second lens and extending away from said second lens to a second base end, said second base end configured for positioning within the capsular bag of the eye or in the ciliary sulcus or on the ciliary muscle of the eye whereby contraction of the ciliary muscle during accommodation of the eye moves said second base end towards the optic axis of the eye; and
wherein said first lens and said second lens move laterally relative to one another during contraction of the ciliary muscle in a vertically-extending plane containing the optic axis of the eye and substantially centered in the eye, the lateral relative movement further defined as lateral relative to the optic axis.
