Abstract: An accommodative intraocular lens (IOL) system is disclosed for insertion into an eye to provide accommodative vision, the system including a first lens having an first optic, a second lens having a second optic, a transparent, low refractive index medium disposed between the first and second optics; and at least one haptic connected to the first and second lenses and configured to facilitate movement of one lens relative to the other lens, such that when the lens system is positioned in an eye, ciliary muscle movements can alter the distance between the first and second lenses and vary the overall lens power of the system.
