Abstract
A positioning implement for an intraocular lens comprises an elongated plate-like handle having an upper surface on which a movable pusher having a tapered forward end is mounted for axial reciprocation. A canted finger extends unitarily forwardly from the handle and also has a tapered forward end. Both tapered forward ends are provided with slots dimensioned to fit over an intraocular lens haptic to permit selective application of force to the haptic of an intraocular lens at two different locations for positioning it in the lens capsule of the eye.
