An accommodating intraocular lens device for treating an eye having a lens body, an internal frame, a stabilization system, and a force-transforming arm. The lens body includes an accommodating membrane, an annular element, a stationary element, and a fixed volume of optical fluid that fills the sealed cavity of the lens body. An annular element coupled to the perimeter of the adjustable membrane has a shape deforming membrane configured to undergo displacement relative to the perimeter area. A sealed cavity is formed by the adjustable membrane, the shape deformable membrane and the inner surface of the stationary element. The force transforming arm has a first end operatively coupled to the shape deforming membrane and a free end operable and configured to engage a ciliary structure of the eye. The force transforming arm is movable relative to the lens body to cause inward movement of the shape deforming membrane. Related methods, devices and systems are provided. |
