Abstract
An apparatus for eye surgery. Some embodiments may comprise a housing, a bore through the housing, and a push rod at least partially disposed in the bore. The push rod may be operable to move between three rod positions within the bore. A plunger key may be coupled to the housing and operable to move between three key positions. In the first key position, the plunger key may prevent the push rod from moving from a first rod position. In the second key position, the plunger key may allow the push rod to slide through the bore from the first rod position to a second rod position. In the second key position, the plunger key may also allow the push rod to be rotated to advance to a third rod position. In the third key position, the plunger key may allow the push rod to slide through the bore from the second rod position to the third rod position.
