Abstract
A cartridge for storing and implanting an intraocular lens has a first part and a second part that are movable relative to one another from a storage configuration, in which interior surfaces of the first and second portions define a storage chamber for storing the IOL in an unfolded state, to an implanting configuration, in which the interior surfaces of the first and second portions together define a smooth-bored implanting chamber for retaining the IOL in a folded state. According to a first aspect, the first and second portions are hinged together, whereas according to a second aspect, the first and second portions are slidably interconnected.
