1. An intraocular micro-display (IOMD) implant, comprising:
an enclosure shaped for implantation into an eye;
a micro-display disposed in the enclosure and oriented to emit an image towards a retina of the eye when the IOMD implant is implanted into the eye;
a base lens having a fixed optical power attached to the enclosure and positioned relative to the micro-display to reside in an optical path extending between the micro-display and the retina when the IOMD implant is implanted into the eye, the base lens configured to apply the fixed optical power to the image; and
an adjustable lens disposed in the optical path between the micro-display and the retina, the adjustable lens comprising:
an electrode configured to activate as a result of the IOMD implant receiving a signal from a head-mounted device, the signal configured to cause the IOMD implant to adjust a potential of the electrode; and
a lens portion having an optical power, the optical power being adjustable based on the potential of the electrode and being adjustable in-situ to adjust a focal distance of the image projected by the IOMD implant after the IOMD implant has been implanted into the eye.
