Abstract
An intraocular lens insertion device () includes a main body (), an operational portion () provided on an end () of the main body (), a knock mechanism () for moving the operational portion () forward and backward with respect to the main body (), and a cartridge () attached to the other end () of the main body () and serving as an insertion tube. The device is constructed, as a whole, such that the knock mechanism () moves the operational portion () repeatedly forward and backward so that an intraocular lens () placed in the cartridge () can be pushed out stepwise. The knock mechanism () is structured so as to move the operational portion () pushed forward toward a backward direction and automatically return it to an original position prior to the same being pushed forward.
