An intraocular lens and a method of constructing the intraocular lens are described. The intraocular lens is implanted in a human eye to treat conditions of the eye. The intraocular lens includes a central deformable optic and an annular ring coupled to the deformable optic. The intraocular lens is made by subjecting the deformable optic to compressive forces that reduce the optical power of the deformable optic, and then molding the annular lens to the deformable optic while the deformable optic is undergoing the compressive forces. Once the compressive forces are released, the deformable optic stresses the annular ring along a radial axis of the deformable optic when the intraocular lens is in a natural, unstressed state. The stress or tension between the deformable optic and the annular ring keep the deformable optic from developing deformities that cause visual aberrations.
