Is an accommodative IOL similar to the natural lens of the eye?
Yes and no. The ability of the natural lens of a young person’s eye to change shape and produce dramatic changes in focus is magnificent. As a person ages, the natural lens becomes more rigid and functions more like a monofocal lens. The accommodative lens can restore some focusing power back to the ageing eye but will certainly not restore the same level of focusing available in a young person’s eye.
