ABSTRACT:
An insertion guide for aiding the insertion of the superior haptic of an intraocular lens into the capsular bag of the eye during intraocular surgery. The guide is made of a thin, flexible material and has a body portion and a flap portion connected by an integral connecting portion which permits the flap to move from the first position folded against the body portion to a second position where the flap is disposed at an acute angle to the body portion so that the flap will act as a backstop to guide the superior haptic of an intraocular lens into the capsular bag. The present invention also relates to the method of inserting an intraocular lens using this guide.
