A cartridge ( 12 ) for folding an ophthalmic implant ( 11 ) comprises a pliers consisting of two articulated arms ( 34, 36 ), which are provided with substantially coaxial channels ( 46, 48 ) and each of which is boarded by two longitudinal edges ( 46 A, 46 B, 48 A, 48 B), wherein said channels ( 46, 48 ) are open in front of each other and define a partially folded conduit containing the implant ( 11 ) when the two arms ( 34, 36 ) are brought to each other. When said two arms ( 34, 36 ) are brought to each other, at least two edges ( 46 B, 48 B) positioned in front of the channels ( 46, 48 ) are driven apart transversally with respect to conduit on a plane, where said two arms ( 34, 36 ) are jointed in such a way that the arm ( 36 ) delimits the supporting shoulder ( 49 ) of the implant ( 11 ) being projected in front of the channel ( 46 ) embodied in the other arm ( 34 ).
