Intraocular optic assembly

An intraocular optic assembly comprising:

• a plurality of stanchions each extending between a respective base end and a respective distal end, said plurality of base ends disposed in spaced relation to one another about a first arcuate periphery, said plurality of distal ends disposed in spaced relation to one another about a second arcuate periphery, said first arcuate periphery having a greater radius than said second arcuate periphery;
• at least one optic having a central optic axis, an anterior side, a posterior side, and a center disposed between said anterior side and said posterior side through which said central optic axis extends, said at least one optic connected with each of said plurality of distal ends whereby said center of said optic is moved along said central optic axis in response to contraction of said first arcuate periphery;
• and
• a plurality of bands disposed in spaced relation to one another along a central longitudinal axis of at least one of said plurality of stanchions, each of said exemplary bands interconnecting respective first and second positions on an inner surface of the stanchion, said plurality of bands retaining the stanchion in a shape that is at least partially arcuate in cross-section normal to said central longitudinal axis.
