Abstract: An ocular implant insertion apparatus that includes a plunger driver that is not manually powered and ocular implant insertion methods. There are a variety of instances where an ocular implant is inserted into the anterior chamber, posterior chamber, cornea, vitreous space and/or other portion of an eye. Exemplary ocular implants include, but are not limited to, lenses, capsular tension rings, ocular prosthesis and lamellar transplants.

Abstract: An intraocular lens inserting instrument (1) capable of folding a lens (2) and pressing it by a plunger (4) to discharge it into an eye and capable of taking out the folded lens (2) by tweezers (15). The intraocular lens inserting instrument (1) for inserting a foldable intraocular lens (2) into an eye has a tubular body (3) for allowing the intraocular lens (2) to pass through it and introducing it into the eye, and a plunger (4) for pressing the intraocular lens (2) to discharge it into the eye, wherein the intraocular lens (2) is folded by a folding member (8) provided at a lens placing section (5). The lens placing section (5) has an open/close lid (12) so that the folded intraocular lens (2) can be held by the tweezers (15).

Abstract: An intraocular lens insertion instrument capable of smoothly pushing out a preset lens is provided. An intraocular lens insertion instrument (1) comprises: a main body (3) including a lens setting section (8) on which a lens (2) is set, a transition section (22) that deforms the lens (2), and a nozzle piece (21) that releases the lens (2); and a lens push-out mechanism (4) that pushes out the lens (2) set on the lens setting section (8). The instrument (1) further includes a releasing means (11) for releasing the lens (2) pushed by the lens push-out mechanism (4) from the lens setting section (8). The releasing means (11) has a posture holding mount (12) that holds the lens (2) with a forward tilt relative to an axial line (A) of lens movement. The posture holding mount (12) has a passage (15) through which the lens push-out mechanism (4) passes.
