ABSTRACT:
A forceps for implanting an intraocular lens into an eye through a slit in the eye wall has opposed, direct-action jaws, spring-biased to a position opening the jaws, that allows the jaws to open to a distance large enough to release the lens while providing an intermediate arm structure that opens to a distance about half that of the jaws, allowing the lens to be inserted and released through a relatively small incision.
