Abstract
An IOL injector device allows for both powered and manual delivery of an IOL. The injector has a tubular housing. A plunger is longitudinally disposed within the housing and has first and second ends. The first end is disposed towards the front end of the housing. A drive system is coupled to the housing. The drive system causes longitudinal translation of the plunger along the primary axis of the housing. A normally engaged clutch system is coupled to the drive system. The normally engaged clutch system allows manual disengagement of the drive system. A knob coupled to the plunger allows for manual operation of the injector.
