An intraocular lens (IOL) for insertion in a capsular bag of an eye
includes an optic for focusing light and a movement assembly coupled to
the optic. The movement assembly is adapted to cooperate with the
capsular bag to effect accommodating movement of the optic. The movement
assembly includes one or more elongated fixation members coupled to a
periphery of the optic and adapted to convert radial movement of the
capsular bag to axial movement of the optic. The fixation members extend
spirally at least half-way around the optic. Angled transition sections
may be provided between each fixation member and the optic periphery. The
anterior and posterior edges of the optic periphery may have relatively
sharp angles to reduce epithelial cell growth.
