A pupil expander insertion tool includes an elongated housing having a hollow chamber with a retractable blade extending through an aperture in the forward end of the housing and from the hollow chamber. The forward end of the retractable blade includes a pair of spaced-apart legs and a rearwardly extending slot therebetween, the slot adapted to receive a pupil expander in an elongated condition. The forward end of the housing includes a pair of forwardly projecting legs spaced above and parallel to the blade legs, to receive the tabs of a pupil expander between the housing legs and blade and the folded strap between the housing legs.
