AB  - Surgeons treat cataracts by replacing the clouded lens with an intraocular lens 
      (IOL), but patients are required to wear reading glasses for tasks requiring near 
      vision. We suggest a new voltage-controlled accommodating IOL made of an ionic 
      polymer metal composite (IPMC) actuator to change focus. An in vitro experiment 
      was conducted where an actuator was placed inside the eye and moved with applied 
      voltage. The lens attached to the actuator was deformed by its movement to change 
      the patient's focus. The results showed that this system can accommodate a change 
      of approximately 0.8 diopters under an applied voltage of +/- 1.3 V.
