Intraocular lens (IOL)

An accommodating intraocular lens, comprising:

• a lens optic;
• a plate haptic having a through hole accommodating the lens optic, the lens optic being disconnected from the lens optic except for at least one connection located at a peripheral position on the lens optic;
• and
• at least one flexible connection between an outer periphery of the lens optic and an inner periphery of the through hole in the plate haptic,
• wherein the accommodating intraocular lens is configured to allow the lens optic to physically move relative to the plate haptic.

An accommodating intraocular lens, comprising:

• a lens optic having an outer peripheral edge;
• a plate haptic having a through hole accommodating the lens optic, the through hole having an inner peripheral edge;
• at least one flexible member connecting an outer periphery of the lens optic to an inner periphery of the through hole in the plate haptic,
• wherein the accommodating intraocular lens is configured to allow the outer peripheral edge of the lens optic to physically move relative to the inner peripheral edge of the plate haptic.

An accommodating intraocular lens, comprising:

• a lens optic having an outer peripheral edge;
• a plate haptic having a through hole accommodating the lens optic, the through hole having an inner peripheral edge;
• and
• at least one flexible connection between an outer periphery of the lens optic and an inner periphery of the through hole in the plate haptic,
• wherein the outer periphery of the lens optic being spaced apart from the inner periphery of the plate haptic, and
• wherein the accommodating intraocular lens is configured to allow the lens optic to physically move axially along an optical axis of an eye relative to an outer peripheral edge of the plate haptic.
