Single optic accommodative intraocular lenses.
Currently, two single optic accommodative intraocular lenses are available for implantation. Both designs rely on the interaction of the ciliary muscle with the zonule and capsule to induce axial movement of the optic. This article reviews the historical development, laboratory data, and clinical findings relating to these interesting devices.
