ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for inserting intraocular lenses (IOLs) into eyes are disclosed. In one embodiment, such apparatus includes a hollow tube including an interior wall defining a hollow space through which an IOL is passed and an outlet through which the IOL is passed from the hollow space into an eye, and a lubricity enhancing component covalently bonded to the hollow tube at the interior wall in an amount effective to at least assist in facilitating the passage of the IOL through the hollow space.
