The invention provides for an inflatable intra ocular lens/lens retainer ora system of inflatable intra ocular lens/lens retainers, which are fitted intoan aphakic eye, to substantially occupy the space previously held by the crystallinelens to retain and secure the position of delicate intra ocular structures ofthe eye. The inflatable lens/lens retainer may also be used suspend optical interfacesalong the visual axis of the eye. The inflatable intra ocular lens/lens retainermay be pressed against residual elements of the lens capsule to re-establishaccommodation. In the absence of a lens capsule, the inflatable intra ocularlens/lens retainer may be compressed directly by the ciliary muscle to alterthe refractive state of the eye.
