Abstract
A method of providing an artificial lens inserted into the eye between the iris and the natural lens zone, there being eye ciliary muscles located peripherally of the zone, that includes providing the artificial lens to be compliant and to have anterior and posterior surfaces, and haptics extending away from the periphery of the artificial lens; and inserting the artificial lens to extend into position between the iris and the zone, and to cause the haptics to extend into adjacency to the ciliary muscles, and; allowing the haptics to adhere to the ciliary muscles; whereby subsequent movement of the ciliary muscles causes movement of the haptics transmitted to effect bodily movement of the lens in posterior and anterior directions to change the angularity of refraction of light passing through the lens toward the eye retina.
