An intraocular lens is provided that includes an optic body having
anterior and posterior walls, a chamber, and optically transmissive
primary and secondary fluids, and method for making and using the same.
The secondary fluid is substantially immiscible with the primary fluid
and has a different density and a different refractive index than the
primary fluid. The primary fluid is present in a sufficient amount that
orienting optical body optical axis horizontally for far vision positions
the optical axis through the primary fluid, thereby immersing the
anterior and posterior optical centers in the primary fluid. The
secondary fluid is contained in the optic body in a sufficient amount
that orienting the optical axis over a range of effective downward angles
relative to the horizontal for near vision positions the optical axis to
extend through the primary fluid and the secondary fluid, thus changing
the focus of the intraocular lens.
