Abstract:
An accommodating intraocular lens for implantation in an eye having an optical axis, said lens comprising:an anterior portion comprising: an anterior viewing element comprised of an optic having refractive power; and an anterior biasing element comprising first and second anterior translation members extending from the anterior viewing element; and a posterior portion comprising: a posterior viewing element in spaced relationship to said anterior viewing element; and a posterior biasing element comprising first and second posterior translation members extending from the posterior viewing element; said anterior portion and posterior portion meeting at first and second apices of said intraocular lens said viewing elements being relatively moveable to provide an accommodated state and an unaccommodated state of said lens; wherein said first anterior translation member forms a first anterior biasing angle with respect to a plane oriented perpendicular to the optical axis and passing through said apices and said first posterior translation member forms a first posterior biasing angle with respect to said plane, and wherein said first anterior biasing angle is larger than said first posterior biasing angle when said lens is in said unaccommodated state, as said lens is viewed from the side.
