ABSTRACT:
A method of implanting an intraocular lens in a human eye, includes the steps of (a) making a first incision in the eye not greater than 2.5 mm to allow a cataract lens to be extracted therefrom and a rolled intraocular lens to be inserted therethrough, the intraocular lens having a positioning hole for permitting positioning of the lens in the eye; (b) making a second incision in the eye of approximately 1 mm and spaced from the first incision to allow an intraocular lens positioning tool to be inserted therethrough; (c) pushing a rolled intraocular lens having a wrapping about at least a portion of the rolled intraocular lens into the eye through the first incision; (d) cutting the wrapping from the rolled intraocular lens in the eye so that the rolled intraocular lens unrolls in the eye; (e) removing the cut wrapping from the eye through the first incision while the lens position is maintained; and (f) final positioning of the unrolled intraocular lens in the eye.
