An accommodating IOL comprises an optic adapted to focus light toward a
retina of an eye, and a movement assembly coupled to the eye to provide
effective accommodating movement, preferably axial movement, of the
optic. At least a portion of the movement assembly is made from a
material that is less stiff and/or more resilient than the material used
to make the optic. Optionally, an outer ring or support portion made at
least partially from either a relatively stiff material such as the
material used in the optic or a relatively resilient material such as the
material used in the movement assembly is also provided.
