The spatula-shaped end includes top and bottom surfaces and multiple facets positioned along one or more sides of the spatula-shaped end and along a front of the spatula-shaped end. Each facet narrows a distance between the top and bottom surfaces. One or more first facets are positioned along the front of the spatula-shaped end. The one or more first facets are configured to facilitate insertion of a tip of the spatula-shaped end between an anterior leaflet and a lens in the eye. One or more second facets are positioned along the one or more sides of the spatula-shaped end. The one or more second facets are configured to facilitate sliding of the spatula-shaped end along the anterior leaflet between the anterior leaflet and the lens in the eye.
