An accommodative intraocular lens is disclosed. The lens provides multiple focuses
as the result of a bi-directional shift along the eye's optical axis, and also
minimizes or prevents posterior chamber opacification. The lens includes a first
component which consists of an optical body and a haptic body, a second component
which is structurally adapted to maintain substantial contact with the posterior
surface of the capsular bag of the eye (when implanted in the eye), and a transition
zone connecting the first and second components. The method of implanting the lens
in the eye and the method of making the lens are also disclosed.
