PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system used to deliver a constrained corneal implant into a corneal pocket. ! SOLUTION: A system comprising a hollow member is used to deliver a constrained corneal implant into a corneal pocket. The hollow member may be tapered and the system may further include an implant deformation chamber and an axial pusher to advance the implant through the hollow member. In one embodiment, the axial pusher has a thin, flexible carrier for implants, the carrier has edges which are everted together with the edges of the corneal implant, and the corneal implant is constrained within the hollow passage on a distal side of the axial pusher. !
