INTRAOCULAR LENS INJECTOR SYSTEM

摘要

An IOL (intraocular lens) injector system comprises an IOL injector (2); an IOL holder (3) for holding an IOL (4); and an IOL holder container (100) for holding said IOL holder holding said IOL. The IOL injector comprises an injection channel and a plunger (23) movable down said channel; and an IOL holder receiving space (11) for snappingly receiving said IOL holder, and the IOL holder is provided with a channel part (16) with a substantially straight channel running through said channel part, said channel of said IOL holder forming part of said injection channel of said IOL injector when said IOL holder is snapped into said receiving space of said IOL injector in line with said injection channel, said IOL being provided in said channel of said IOL holder when holding said IOL; and opposite openings for allowing said IOL to pass, in operation allowing said plunger to urge said IOL out of said IOL holder and through said injection channel The IOL holder container has a reservoir for holding a storage liquid and said IOL holder holding an IOL; closing walls in said reservoir for closing said opposite openings of said IOL holder; and retaining parts in said reservoir for holding said IOL holder. A method for providing an IOL injector with an IOL using the above IOL injector system comprises the steps of opening said IOL holder container; grabbing said IOL holder holding said IOL and taking it out of said IOL holder container; and positioning said IOL holder holding said IOL in said receiving space of said IOL injector.
