Accommodating intraocular lenses and associated methods

Abstract

An accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) can include a base lens and a removable lens. The base lens can include an accommodating lens, an optical axis passing through the accommodating lens a haptic portion positioned radially-outward from the accommodating lens, a cavity formed in the haptic portion and extending radially-outward with respect to the optical axis, and/or a visual marker positioned anterior to the cavity. The removable lens can be configured to removably couple with the base lens and have a lens portion and a tab extending radially-outward from the lens portion and configured to extend at least partially into the cavity when the removable lens is coupled to the base lens. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the tab is positioned posterior to and at least partially hidden from view from an anterior-posterior perspective when the removable lens is coupled to the base lens.
