The invention is directed to an accommodating intraocular lens wherein the lens comprises a flexible lens body having normally anterior and posterior sides, including a single solid flexible biconvex optic, said lens body having two or more radially extending portions from the optic such that the lens can move anteriorly with contraction of the ciliary body of the eye, and the lens being sized to be implanted into the capsular bag of the eye such that contraction of the ciliary muscle causes the lens within the capsular bag behind the iris to move forward towards the iris with its contraction. <;IMAGE>;
