PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate handling of a lens folding cartridge and to prevent damage to the lens, particularly to the haptic. SOLUTION: The loading instrument 10 for loading the lens folding cartridge with an intraocular lens 13 comprises a support 41 with a seat for receiving a still empty lens folding cartridge. To guide and hold the lens folding cartridge 11, a cylindrical opening is provided, which encloses the back portion of an injector nozzle. A groove is provided for holding a wing. A hook extends outward through the cylindrical opening. When the lens holding cartridge 11 is inserted in the instrument, the hook passes through the injector nozzle and reaches a front portion of a half-shell. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
