Based on Hemholtz's theory of accommodation, Optiflex MO/F-016 is an accommodative lens plus CTR, which addresses the problem of pseudophakic presbyopia. Implantation through a standard phaco incision of sub 2.6 is facilitated by this IOL. The lens have a six haptics design with anterior vaulting which let the lens move and focus on objects at various distances without creating any hysterisis. The accommodation effect is maintained by the posteriorly vaulted haptics which ensure minimum adhesion to anterior subcapsular cells for a longer period of time. A continuous CTR is formed by the diminishing gap betwen six haptics during the capsular bag contraction process, which postpones PCO.

As shown in the diagram below (fig:1.1), during normal conditions (far focus), the angle of the lens is reduced by the flattened capsular bag membrane and enlarges the overall focal distance of the lens. The contraction of ciliary body and the subsequent release in the resting tension of the zonular fibres by which the crystalline lens is suspended create an accommodative effect which results in anterior movement of the optic, which furthermore creates a change in focus. The curvature of the optic also increases during this process, providing further change in focus as shown in fig: 1.2 and fig: 1.3. An estimated displacement of the axis noted will be 0.25- 1.0 mm resulting in an accommodation of over 1.5 D.
