ABSTRACT:
An instrument for inserting a deformable intraocular lens into the eye, and which is constructed so that the deformable lens is grasped in its undeformed state by two jaws mounted on the end of a shaft which are forced together as the shaft is drawn into a tube, the deformed lens being held in position by the confinement of the jaws by the tube. The tips of the jaws and the deformed lens are inserted through an incision into the eye using the walls of the incision to help compress the jaws and the lens. The lens is then completely inserted into the eye by a plunger mounted coaxially within the shaft and returns to its original undeformed state after it has been so inserted.
