ABSTRACT:
A centrally apertured vertically slidable pedestal supports a foldable intraocular lens implant in predetermined orientation. A blade tipped arm, axially oriented with respect to the pedestal, is protrudable from within the pedestal in diametric orientation with the supported intraocular lens implant upon downward movement of the pedestal. By contacting diametrically opposed sides of the intraocular lens implant with the jaws of forceps followed by downward movement of the pedestal to protrude the blade tip of the arm, the intraocular lens implant becomes folded within the grasp of the forceps and ready for implantation.
