Claim:
An accommodating intraocular lens comprising: an optic comprising a flexible anterior element, a posterior element, an optical axis, the flexible anterior element is the most anterior aspect of the accommodating intraocular lens along the optical axis, the flexible anterior element and the posterior element at least partially defining an optic fluid chamber disposed between the flexible anterior element and the posterior element; a haptic portion peripheral to the optic and configured to deform in responsive to ciliary muscle movement, the haptic portion comprising at least one haptic fluid chamber in fluid communication with the optic fluid chamber; and a fluid disposed within the optic fluid chamber and the at least one haptic fluid chamber, wherein the fluid is adapted to be moved between the at least one haptic fluid chamber and the optic fluid chamber in response to deformation of the haptic portion, and wherein a periphery of the flexible anterior element is adapted to be displaced more than a portion of the flexible anterior element disposed along the optical axis in response to movement of the fluid.
