ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a folding device for folding intraocular implants having flexible optical portions. Said device comprises two folding element facing each other and whose ends are connected together by deformable means. Each folding element comprises a body and a jaw projecting from said body, an elastically deformable support projecting from said body in the direction in which the two elements are brought together, a positioning stud projecting from said second end of the support perpendicularly to said support and facing upwards so as to co-operate, at rest, with the periphery of the optical portion of the implant, and an extension projecting from said body in the direction in which the two elements are brought together, and having a ramp suitable for co-operating with the support on the other folding element while the two folding elements are being brought together to cause said positioning stud to be lowered.
