1. An accommodating contact lens for placement on an eye, comprising:
an inner optical zone to provide variable optical power;
an upper stabilization zone extending above the optical zone between an upper boundary of the lens and the optical zone;
a zone of increased thickness extending below the upper stabilization zone, the zone of increased thickness comprising a thickness greater than the upper stabilization zone; and
a lower pressure sensitive zone coupled to the inner optical zone to engage a lower eyelid and increase optical power of the inner optical zone in response engagement with the lower eyelid, wherein the lower pressure sensitive zone comprises a thickness less than the zone of increased thickness;
wherein a lower boundary of the zone of increased thickness comprises an indentation shaped to fit a shape of the pressure sensitive zone between the zone of increased thickness and a lower boundary of the lens.
