Accommodating Intraocular Lenses
Accommodating IOLs are a technological breakthrough in the field of implanted lenses. These new "flexible" lenses permit the eye to continue to adapt, or shift focus between near and far objects, even after the natural lens has been removed.
Currently, accommodating IOLs are placed utilizing the same surgical approach as cataract surgery and CLE. In contrast to current procedures, the power of this IOL would be adjusted by the eye's ciliary muscles, which govern the shape of the lens by relaxing or contracting. This would allow the artificial lens to change focus and function similarly to a natural lens.
