ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods for inserting foldable IOL's into the eye are disclosed. The present apparatus include a load chamber and an injection tube. A hand piece may be included which is structured to reinforce the injection tube, in particular the proximal end portion of the injection tube. The open distal end of the injection tube may be beveled, preferably so that the open distal end faces generally toward the right, so that the IOL can be inserted into the eye through a smaller incision in a controlled manner, for example, to reduce the need for post-surgical manipulation of the IOL in the eye. Methods for inserting IOL's into eyes of patients, particularly using the present apparatus, are also disclosed.
