An intraocular lens for modifying the refractive abilities of a natural
lens or an existing artificial lens in an eye to correct for vision
disorders such as presbyopia, myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism.
Specifically, the lens system can be configured so that it does not
effect far vision, while effecting near vision using a plus lens to
correct for presbyopia. The lens system includes a lens portion and
fastening members, with the lens portion being movably secured to at
least one of the fastening members so that the position of the lens
portion can be modified with respect to the optical axis, and the overall
length of the lens system can be increased or decreased.
