An apparatus for implanting a folded intraocular lens of resilient material uch as silicone lens comprises a tubular implantation instrument for carrying the folded lens therein, and a manipulator assembly which is connected to the implantation instrument and which comprises a pushing means for inserting the folded lens from the implantation instrument into the lens capsule of an eye.

Apparatus for implanting a folding intraocular lens

In a method and apparatus for folding a resilient intraocular lens, the l is fixed on a support surface and then folded by means of two pressing members which are moved synchronously towards each other in such a way that the intraocular lens conforms on a slightly reduced scale to the interior of a tube member of a lens implantation instrument. The lens is then released from its support surface and pressed into the interior of the implantation instrument tube member.
