Patent ID: 7662179

Claim:
An intraocular lens system, comprising: a first positive intraocular lens; a second negative intraocular lens; a first and a second flexible longitudinally elliptical haptic having ends connected to said first and said second intraocular lenses; wherein a visual axis extends through said first and said second intraocular lenses and at said connections with said lenses said first and said second haptics arc outwardly away from said visual axis of said lenses and are disposed longitudinally with said visual axis, which first and second haptics are configured to comprise an inner surface to accommodate an intermediate lens and are disposed to extend in a generally elliptical or circular curve in longitudinal cross-section and operable to follow the contour of the interior surface of an evacuated capsular bag, and wherein the first and second intraocular lenses are configured to be co-axial, whereby motion of said first positive intraocular lens and said second negative intraocular lens with respect to each other along the visual axis changes the overall optical power of said intraocular lens system via ciliary muscles of the eye.
