Abstract: An accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) can include a base lens having an anterior base lens component, an optical axis, and a posterior base lens component. The base lens can include a plurality of retaining structures formed in the anterior base lens component and/or the posterior base lens component. The base lens can include an optical chamber and a haptic reservoir between the first haptic portion and the second haptic portion, the haptic reservoir in fluid communication with the optical chamber. The AIOL can include a fixed lens configured to be removably coupled with the base lens, the fixed lens having a lens portion and a plurality of tabs extending radially outward from the lens portion, each tab being configured to enter one of the plurality of retaining structures when the fixed lens is coupled to the base lens.
