1. An accommodating intraocular lens, comprising:
a first component including an inner portion and an outer portion;
a second component positioned posterior to the first component when the accommodating intraocular lens is implanted in an eye of a patient; and
a circumferential wall extending between the first component and the second component; and
a haptic extending outwardly from the circumferential wall, the haptic including a medial portion coupled to the circumferential wall and a lateral portion extending outwardly in an anterior direction and/or a posterior direction relative to the medial portion,
wherein—
the first component, the second component, and the circumferential wall define a fluid space within the accommodating intraocular lens, and
when the accommodating intraocular lens is implanted in the eye, the haptic is configured to receive a force from the eye of the patient to (i) pivot the circumferential wall relative to the second component, (ii) adjust a spacing between the second component and at least the outer portion of the first component, and (iii) change a distribution of fluid within the fluid space to change an optical power of the accommodating intraocular lens.
