An apparatus (10) for controllably delivering an IOL into the eye of a patient is disclosed. The device is configured for convenient and reliable positioning of a plunger rod assembly (12) at different stages of the IOL injection procedure, such that various aspects of the insertion procedure can be performed precisely and reliably by a user of the device. In addition, the present invention assists the user during the procedure by accurately and consistently positioning the plunger rod assembly prior to ejection of the folded or rolled IOL from the insertion device.
