A two-optic accommodative lens system. The first lens (12) has a negative power and is located posteriorly against the posterior capsule. The periphery of the first optic contains a pair of clasps (16). The second optic (14) is located anteriorly to the first optic (12) and is of a positive power. The peripheral edge of the second optic contains a pair of locking arms that fit into the clasps (16) contained on the periphery of the first optic to lock the second optic onto the first optic, but allow for rotation of the arms within the clasps. Hinge structures (18) on the locking arms allow the second optic to move relative to the first optic along the optical axis of the lens system in reaction to movement of the ciliary muscle.
