Abstract
An intraocular lens includes a plurality of lenses with a rear lens portion disposed in a posterior capsule from which an eye lens is extracted and a front lens portion disposed at the front side inside the eye in relation to the rear lens portion, and a support portion of the front lens portion among the lenses has flexibility. Accordingly, when the inside of the user's eye moves, the support portion is bent, and hence the front lens portion moves. When the front lens portion moves so that the gap between the front lens portion and the rear lens portion changes, a focal distance of a lens system including the front lens portion and the rear lens portion changes. Accordingly, it is possible to realize an intraocular lens capable of changing a focal distance in a manner such that a user moves the inside of an eye.
