摘要 |
The invention relates to a method and channeled tool adapted for guiding an intraocular lens into position through an incision in an eye. The tool comprises an elongated body member (12) defining a channel which is structurally adapted to secure a haptic (52, 54) of an Intraocular lens (50) against lateral movement but allow longitudinal movement along the channel towards a distal end (14). Indicia means are provided in the tool in the form of two through-holes (30, 32) positioned at predetermined distances from the distal end of the tool to determine the operable compression range of the intraocular lens haptics so that the surgeon can determine that the subject eye is of a sufficient size to receive selected intraocular lens. |
