An accommodating (re-focusable) intraocular lens (IOL) a body of which includes, upon being assembled, first and second individual lenslets having first and second optical portions sequentially disposed along an optical axis and respective haptic portions, interlocked as a result of rotating of one lenslet with respect to another such as to bring first and second lenslets in contact at an axial point. Change in accommodation of the IOL is achieved by changing an applanated area of contact between the lenslets in response to a radially-directed force caused by a change of distance between the interlocked ends of the haptics and transferred to the optical portions through the interlocked haptics. When installed in a natural lens capsule after the cataract extraction, the optical power of the IOL is gradually modifiable due to a change of curvature of the capsule caused by operation of a ciliary muscle.
