Abstract: An intraocular lens system to be implanted in the posterior chamber of an eye, the system comprises a lens having an optical axis and at least two haptics extending from the circumference of the lens. The two haptics each includes one or more teeth located on their periphery.

Abstract: An accommodating lens assembly having an optical axis and being adapted to be implanted in a posterior chamber of an eye having a capsular unit located therein. The assembly comprises a rigid haptics element adapted to secure the assembly within the posterior chamber outside said capsular unit. The element is transparent at least in a region around the axis. The assembly further comprises a resilient body adapted to operate as a lens having a curved surface when pressed up against the region of the haptics element by an axial force applied thereto by the capsular unit. A change in this force causes a change in a radius of curvature for the curved surface.
