A deformable intraocular lens injecting apparatus for inserting a deformable intraocular lens through a small incision into an eye. The apparatus includes a lens injecting body including a lens receiver configured to be operated between an open configuration and a closed configuration, and a nozzle portion provided with a tip portion configured to be inserted through a small incision into an eye. The nozzle portion is configured for connection to the lens receiver of the lens injecting body, and the nozzle portion and the lens receiver defining a lens delivery passageway. A plunger is slidably disposed relative to the lens delivery passageway and configured to engage a deformable intraocular lens within the lens delivery passageway of the lens receiver, and to move the deformable intraocular lens out of the lens delivery passageway into the eye.
