Abstract:
1. An accommodating intraocular lens implantable in an eye, the lens comprising: an anterior portion having an anterior biasing element and an anterior optic having refractive power; and a posterior portion having a posterior biasing element and a posterior optic having refractive power; the anterior optic and the posterior optic being relatively moveable generally along an optical axis of the eye in response to action of the ciliary muscle to change the separation between the optics and the refractive power of the lens, the anterior optic and the posterior optic each having an optical axis; the lens having an aberration-inducing force characteristic to allow aberration-inducing relative movement of the optical axes of the optics when the lens is in the eye to cause the optical axes to become non-colinear, thereby adding optical aberration to the lens which increases depth of focus of the lens.
