Claim 6:
7. The accommodating intraocular lens assembly of claim 1 further comprising:
a third lens configured for positioning in the eye and having a third anterior side and a third posterior side, said third anterior side facing toward the pupil of the eye when said third lens is positioned in the eye and said third posterior side facing away from the pupil of the eye when said third lens is positioned in the eye;
a third stanchion having a third distal end connected to said third lens and extending away from said third lens to a third base end, said third base end configured for positioning within the capsular bag of the eye or in the ciliary sulcus on the ciliary muscle of the eye whereby contraction of the ciliary muscle during accommodation of the eye moves said third base end towards an optic axis of the eye;
a fourth lens configured for positioning in the eye with said third lens and having a fourth anterior side and a fourth posterior side, said fourth anterior side facing said third posterior side when said third lens and said fourth lens are positioned in the eye and said fourth posterior side facing into to the eye when said fourth lens is positioned in the eye;
a fourth stanchion having a fourth distal end connected to said fourth lens and extending away from said fourth lens to a fourth base end, said fourth 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 fourth base end towards the optic axis of the eye;
wherein said third lens and said fourth lens move laterally relative to one another during contraction of the ciliary muscle in a horizontally-extending plane containing the optic axis of the eye and perpendicular to the vertically-extending plane;
wherein said third anterior side of said third lens faces said second posterior side of said second lens; and
wherein, when said first lens and said second lens and said third lens and said fourth lens are positioned in the eye, said first stanchion and said second stanchion are spaced substantially one hundred and eighty degrees from one another about the optic axis, said third stanchion and said fourth stanchion are spaced substantially one hundred and eighty degrees from one another about the optic axis, and said first stanchion and said third stanchion are spaced substantially ninety degrees from one another about the optic axis.
