<p>The apparatus has an elongated compression chamber (10) with a longitudinal passageway, having an inner surface. A portion of the passageway adjacent to the proximal end of the chamber forms a loading area (20) in which the passageway gradually decreases in size for causing an IOL (12) to be deformed or compressed as the IOL is moved along the passageway. A staging area (34) having a top and bottom wall communicates with the loading area with the passageway walls including alignment ridges or slots (40) for retaining the IOL in a deformed or compressed condition. A portion of the passageway is sized to retain the IOL in the deformed or compressed condition. The passageway includes an opening and a slot (36) or groove for permitting easy withdrawal of the forceps used for pushing the IOL through the loading area and into the staging area.</p> |
