Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to intraocular lenses (IOLs). More particularly, the present invention relates to IOLs which are adapted to provide accommodating movement in the eye. An intraocular lens includes an optic for focusing light and a movement assembly coupled to the optic. The movement assembly is adapted to cooperate with the eye to effect accommodating movement of the optic. The movement assembly includes a plurality of movement members each with a proximal region coupled to the optic and an enlarged distal region. The enlarged distal region may be integral with the proximal region, or may be mechanically coupled thereto.
