Abstract:
An accommodating intraocular lens to be implanted within an eye generally perpendicular to the eye's optical axis comprising:a first outer peripheral edge defining a higher diopter positive optic with two or more polyurethane elastomer flexible attachment components permanently connected to the first outer peripheral edge to form a positive lens, and a second outer peripheral edge defining a lower diopter negative optic with two or more polyurethane elastomer flexible attachment components permanently connected to the second outer peripheral edge to form a negative lens, to enable a compressive force sufficient to effect a 1.0 mm in diameter compression of said positive lens to result in approximately 1.0 mm of axial displacement of said positive optic with respect to said negative optic along the eye's optical axis to enable an eye to achieve multi-distance visual imaging.
