ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for and methods of preparing and inserting flexible intraocular lenses through incisions in ocular tissue made during phacoemulsification cataract surgery wherein the incisions are preferably no longer than 3 mm. The intraocular lens is placed on a template which facilitates multiple non-random folding of the intraocular lens. Multiple, non-random folds in the lens provide a folded lens with a diameter of less than 50% of its original diameter and are accomplished using two forceps, with the template providing the necessary and proper orientation, stabilization, and positioning of the lens. The intraocular lens folded using the template is held with one of the forceps and is inserted and released inside the eye, whereupon the lens unfolds in its proper position and configuration inside the eye. An intra-ocular lens having both plate haptics and J-style or C-style haptics is provided.
