ABSTRACT:
Intraocular lens package for packing, shipping or storage of intraocular lenses including a base and a configured cavity for the containment of an IOL and a lens retainer cap fitting over and about the configured cavity to contain the IOL within a seat. The haptics rest on ramped surfaces adjacent to a centralized lens cavity which is supported by semi-tubular struts. A lens retainer cap positions on beveled support posts to form an upper surface of the lens cavity. Lens haptics fit between the support posts to prevent rotational movement of the IOL in the lens package. Tightening flanges in the lens retainer cap engage in ramped catches in the inner perimeter of the configured cavity to secure the lens retainer cap to the configured cavity. Differently configured cavity interiors accept different configurations of posterior and anterior chamber lenses.
