Abstract
There are disclosed methods for preparing an intraocular lens for implantation in an eye. The methods can comprise (1) providing an intraocular lens having first and second viewing elements that overlap when viewed along an optical axis; and (2) preparing the lens for implantation by relatively moving the viewing elements such that the first viewing element moves at least substantially completely across said second viewing element to significantly reduce or eliminate the overlap. Additional methods and intraocular lens embodiments are also disclosed.
