An insertion device can deform a deformable intraocular lens into a smaller size and insert the intraocular lens into the eye. The insertion device includes a device body; an insertion tube attached to a front end of the device body and adapted to be inserted into the eye; and a push rod axially movable within the device body and the insertion tube and adapted to insert the intraocular lens into the eye when advanced. A drive member is rotatably provided at a rear end of the push rod. A motion conversion mechanism is disposed between the device body and the drive member and is adapted to axially move the drive member, upon rotation of the drive member, in order to axially move the push rod. A push member is provided at the rear end of the push rod and projects rearward from the drive member.
