ABSTRACT:
A lens case for an intraocular lens having a deformable optic, including a folder for receiving the intraocular lens and folding the deformable optic about a fold axis. A retainer adjacent the folder holds the intraocular lens against substantial pivotal movement relative to the retainer about a pivot axis which is generally transverse to the fold axis. The folder and retainer are relatively pivotable about the pivot axis so that the orientation of the fold axis relative to the retainer and the deformable optic can be changed.
