An accommodating intraocular lens is disclosed that provides vision
accommodation in response to contraction of an eye's ciliary muscle. The
intraocular lens includes a deformable elastic dynamic lens having a
non-accommodating surface curvature and a lens-shaping member having
flexible portions in contact with peripheral edge regions of the dynamic
lens for enabling compressive deformation thereof for changing the lens
surface curvature to achieve accommodation. The intraocular lens also
includes an elastically flexible coil member mounted around the
lens-shaping member flexible portions. A first lens-supporting member has
a proximal end region that engages the flexible coil member and a second
lens-supporting member has a proximal end region connected to the
lens-shaping member.
