Abstract
An injector folding and injecting a flexible intraocular lens into the eye of a patient is described. The injector is configured to be loaded with the intraocular lens, and optionally, an aqueous solution, before the injector and lens are sterilized. The injector includes a lens compartment that is configured to prevent leakage of the aqueous fluid from the lens compartment caused by autoclaving/sterilization.
