Abstract
An accommodating intraocular lens implant includes (a) a posterior lens unit and (b) an anterior assembly, which includes first and second anterior components, each of which comprises exactly one polymeric piece. The first anterior component is shaped so as to define an anterior floating lens unit and levers. The second anterior component (a) is assembled with the first anterior component such that the first and the second anterior components are separable from each other without tearing the anterior components, and (b) is shaped so as to define (i) an anterior rim complex, and (ii) anterior rim links, which are connected to the anterior rim complex. The levers are in jointed connection with the anterior floating lens unit, the anterior rim links, and the posterior lens unit. The levers are arranged to move the anterior floating lens unit toward and away from the anterior rim complex.
