Abstract: In an intraocular-lens insertion device for deforming a deformable intraocular lens to a smaller size and inserting the intraocular lens into an eye via an insertion tube, the insertion tube has such an inner wall shape as to cause the deformable intraocular lens to move rotationally about an insertion tube axis by a predetermined angle in the course of axial movement.

Abstract: An insertion device for an intraocular lens is disclosed which capable of pushing out the lens into an eye by a pushing shaft directly from a state in which the lens is stored. The device comprises a lens holding portion, and a pushing shaft moving the lens from the lens holding portion. The lens holding portion includes first and second holding portions allowed to contact surfaces opposite to each other of a marginal portion of the lens. The first holding portion is allowed to contact regions rearward from positions having a first circumferential angle of larger than 45° and smaller than 70° to both circumferential sides from a 0° position in the marginal portion. The second holding portion is allowed to contact regions rearward from positions having a second circumferential angle larger than the first circumferential angle in the marginal portion.
