Abstract:
1. An IOL, comprising an anterior optic and a posterior optic disposed about an optical axis, at least two haptics each coupled to one of said optics, a plurality of flexible hinges connecting said two haptics so as to allow lateral movement of the two haptics relative to one another, thereby causing a lateral movement of said optics relative to one another, the flexible hinges having a parallelogram-shaped cross-section in a plane defined by the optical axis and a direction of the lateral movement, the parallelogram-shaped cross-section having a major diagonal extending between opposite corners connected to the haptics at hinge joints and a minor diagonal shorter than the major diagonal, wherein the flexible hinges flex only at the hinge joints; wherein said optical element are configured such that said lateral movement causes a change in a combined optical power provided by said optics as well as spherical aberration exhibited by a combination of said optics.
