Patent number: 6386357Abstract: A soft intraocular lens-folding device comprises a movable member 1 and a base member 2. The movable member 1 comprises an elastically bendable pair of legs 12a, 12b, and a common base 11 for connecting this pair of legs 12a, 12b. At the tips of the pair of legs 12a, 12b there is disposed lens-receiving portions 13a, 13b, and wall portions 14a, 14b. In the lens-receiving portions 13a, 13b, a soft intraocular lens 3 is set astride both legs. The wall portions 14a, 14b have the function of clamping a soft intraocular lens 3 set in the lens-receiving portions 13a, 13b. The bass member 2 comprises a slide groove portion 21. This slide groove portion 21 is formed so as to allow the tips of the pair of legs 12a, 12b to penetrate and elide through, and, in addition, to narrow the gap of the pair of legs 12a, 12b in accordance with the extent of movement thereof.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2000Date of Patent: May 14, 2002Assignee: Hoya Healthcare CorporationInventor: Yoshikazu Egawa
