An intraocular lens system for implantation into a lens capsule having a capsulorhexis with a perimeter, comprising: an intraocular primary component having a base in the shape of an annular body with a center opening, and one or more haptics, the intraocular primary component configured to fit within the lens capsule, the annular body having an equatorial perimeter greater than or equal to the perimeter of the capsulorhexis; and an intraocular secondary component having a lens with a circular extension and an equatorial perimeter less than the perimeter of the capsulorhexis, the annular body further includes a recess extending along an inside perimeter of the annular body, the recess defining a wall facing radially inward and a ledge, wherein the wall extends along the inside perimeter of the base, and wherein a portion thereof is milled down to define two diametrically opposed tabs and wherein the diametrically opposed tabs of the annular body extend along the inside perimeter, and being characterized in that each inside circumferential wall of the diametrically opposed tabs forms a joint, such that an anterior surface of each of the diametrically opposed tabs is flush with an anterior surface of the intraocular secondary component, wherein the diametrically opposed tabs extend over a perimeter edge of the intraocular secondary component, and elsewhere along the perimeter edge of the intraocular secondary component, the perimeter edge is exposed between the diametrically opposed tabs, and in that the intraocular secondary component is radially compressible and configured for insertion into the recess of the intraocular primary component such that the circular extension contacts the ledge of the recess, the intraocular secondary component is compressible for insertion into and removal from the intraocular primary component, the intraocular lens system being configured to provide optical correction. an intraocular primary component having a base in the shape of an annular body with a center opening, and one or more haptics, the intraocular primary component configured to fit within the lens capsule, the annular body having an equatorial perimeter greater than or equal to the perimeter of the capsulorhexis; and an intraocular secondary component having a lens with a circular extension and an equatorial perimeter less than the perimeter of the capsulorhexis, the annular body further includes a recess extending along an inside perimeter of the annular body, the recess defining a wall facing radially inward and a ledge, wherein the wall extends along the inside perimeter of the base, and wherein a portion thereof is milled down to define two diametrically opposed tabs and wherein the diametrically opposed tabs of the annular body extend along the inside perimeter, and being characterized in that each inside circumferential wall of the diametrically opposed tabs forms a joint, such that an anterior surface of each of the diametrically opposed tabs is flush with an anterior surface of the intraocular secondary component, wherein the diametrically opposed tabs extend over a perimeter edge of the intraocular secondary component, and elsewhere along the perimeter edge of the intraocular secondary component, the perimeter edge is exposed between the diametrically opposed tabs, and in that the intraocular secondary component is radially compressible and configured for insertion into the recess of the intraocular primary component such that the circular extension contacts the ledge of the recess, the intraocular secondary component is compressible for insertion into and removal from the intraocular primary component, the intraocular lens system being configured to provide optical correction.
