  • Patent number: 9987128
    Abstract: Provided is an intraocular lens injector that allows a haptic and a optic to be pushed in reliably. The intraocular lens injector includes a lens holder holding an intraocular lens which has a optic and a haptic extending in a curved shape from the optic, a device body to which the lens holder is attached, a plunger inserted projectably/retractably in the device body and coming into contact with the intraocular lens to push out this intraocular lens, and a nozzle portion connected to the device body, the nozzle portion releasing the intraocular lens while folding the intraocular lens concavely by a push-in operation of the plunger. A positioner is provided to push up the haptic along a thickness direction of the optic within a range contactable with a distal end of the plunger, when the lens holder and the intraocular lens are attached to the device body.

  • Patent number: 9827139
    Abstract: An intraocular lens injector includes a lens holder holding an intraocular lens which has an optic and a haptic extending in a curved shape from the optic, a plunger which comes into contact with the intraocular lens and pushes out the intraocular lens, and a device body in which the plunger is inserted projectably/retractably and in which the lens holder can be attached in an intersecting direction relative to an axis of the plunger. The lens holder includes a position regulating portion for regulating a disposing position of the haptic in such a manner that a distal end of the plunger at an initial position before the plunger is pushed in and the optic may be laid on a common plane with a portion of the haptic lying on top of the plunger.
