ABSTRACT:
An apparatus used for intraocular implantation of a plastic lens in an internal eye zone, as via a surgical incision in the corneo-scleral limbus, which includes two elongated lever arms, each of which has a distal first zone for gripping the lens, a second pivot zone rearward of the distal zone, and a third manual pressure receiving zone; the arms coupled together rearwardly of the third zones so that the first distal zones are yieldably urged toward one another by the arms to grip the lens therebetween for intraocular implantation; the second pivot zones configured to pivot in interengagement in response to controllable manual squeezing force exertion on the third zones, thereby to cause the first zones to relatively separate, freeing the lens for release in the internal eye zone.
