The invention is directed to a cassette for accommodating an intraocular lens. The cassette defines a longitudinal axis and includes a base part. Pivotable cover flaps are arranged on the base part so as to be pivotable about the longitudinal axis from a base position to a closed position. The cover flaps are curved at least in selected regions thereof and are configured to be autonomously intrinsically bendable in a defined manner when the cover flaps are moved from the base position to the closed position.

Cassette for receiving an intraocular lens, injector device having said cassette and method for folding an intraocular lens in a cassette

The invention is directed to an injector device for introducing an intraocular lens into an eye. The injector device defines a longitudinal axis and includes an injector tip having a through guide channel for the intraocular lens. The channel has a rear inlet and a front outlet. A cassette accommodates the intraocular lens therein and two closure tips are configured for closing the cassette. The closure tips extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis axially farther rearwardly than the rear inlet. A method for prefolding the intraocular lens in the cassette is also disclosed.
