An intraocular lens (IOL) (20) includes an optic (24) for focusing light andan accommodation assembly (26) for axially moving and/or deforming the opticin response to naturally occurring actions of the eye, thus allowing a patientto more effectively focus on near objects. In addition, the optic may bemultifocal or aspheric, wherein the maximum add power of the lens is combinedwith the increase in diopter power obtained through axial movement and/ordeformation of the optic, resulting in enhanced accommodation.
