An intraocular lens assembly for implantation in a human eye, the eye including a ciliary muscle and zonules controlled by the ciliary muscle, the assembly including an optic having anterior and posterior surfaces depending from a common edge, at least two, preferably rigid, linkage arms, each being attached to the optic at a first position on the arm thereof and cooperating with ciliary muscle or the zonules at a second position on the arm, and at least two pivots, one of which is rotatably attached to each respective linkage arm intermediate the first and second positions.

[ I claim:] [1.] An intraocular lens assembly for implantation in a human eye, said eye including at least a portion of a lens capsule, a ciliary muscle and zonules controlled by the ciliary muscle, the assembly comprising:an optic having anterior and posterior surfaces;an at least partial ring adapted to cooperate with the ciliary muscle or the zonules; andat least two linkage elements, each being pivotably attached to the optic at a first position on the element and being pivotably attached to the at least partial ring at a second position on the element to cause axial movement of the optic in response to movement of the ciliary muscle or the zonules;and also comprising a generally rigid ring having a diameter greater than that of the optic and less than that of said at least partial ring and wherein the linkage elements are pivotably attached at locations intermediate the ends of the linkage elements onto said rigid ring at pivots located on said rigid ring.
