An exemplary ocular implant insertion system includes a case and a preloaded ocular implant insertion apparatus. The apparatus includes first and second movable structures that move the ocular implant in a predetermined sequence. The respective configurations of the case and the ocular implant insertion apparatus are such that the ocular implant insertion apparatus is not removable from the case when the ocular implant insertion apparatus is in the pre-use state and is removable after the first movable structure has moved at least a portion of the optical implant.

IOL (intraocular lens) injector (1) for introducing an IOL (100) into the eye, comprising: an injector body (2); a cavity (4) for holding the IOL (100) comprising a leading haptic (100b) and a trailing haptic (100c); a cartridge (5) ending at a distal end (5c) in an injection nozzle (5a); the injector body (2), the cavity (4) and the cartridge (5) having a channel (6) extending in axial direction (P); and an axially movable pushing plunger (7) being placed in the channel (6) of the injector body (2) for pushing the IOL (100) in axial direction (P) out of the cavity (4) and into the cartridge (5) and the injection nozzle (5a), wherein a folding plunger (8) is arranged in the channel (6) and is extending in axial direction (P), parallel to the pushing plunger (7); and wherein the cavity (4) comprises a trailing haptic rest (4c) for defining the direction of the trailing haptic (100c) of an IOL (100) arrange in the cavity (4), such that the folding plunger (8) when moved in axial direction (P) hits the trailing haptic (100c) of the IOL (100).

A control device for an intraocular lens injector characterized in that the device comprises a support arranged to accommodate a lens injector which may be connected to a cartridge optionally pre-loaded with a lens, said support comprising an actuator connected to a fluid transmission system, said actuator being arranged, as a result of the pressure force, to move between a first rest position and at least one second position.

Modular IOL systems including a base and a lens, wherein the lens includes fixed and actuatable tabs for connection to the base. The modular IOL allows for the lens to be adjusted or exchanged while leaving the base in place, either intra-operatively or post-operatively. Drug delivery capabilities and/or sensing capabilities may be incorporated into the base. Injector devices may be used to facilitate placement of the base and the lens sequentially or simultaneously into the eye.

There is provided an intraocular lens insertion device capable of appropriately regulating the motion of a rear supporting portion during a process of moving an intraocular lens, and reducing the possibility of reoperation being required after the intraocular lens is inserted into an eye. An intraocular lens insertion device 1 comprises a main body 2, and a slider 3 and a plunger 4 that are attached to the main body 2. Further, the intraocular lens insertion device 1 is of a preset type in which an intraocular lens 5 is placed inside the main body 2 in advance. The slider 3 includes a first abutting portion 21 for pushing up a supporting portion 7 (rear supporting portion 7a) arranged on a rear side of an optical part 6 with respect to a lens advancement axis A, and second abutting portions 22a, 22b abutting against an outer edge of a rear portion of the optical part 6.

Intraocular lens (IOL) insertion apparatus and methods of use are provided and described herein. An example IOL insertion apparatus may include a handpiece body having a distal tip, a deployment chamber having an opening at a distal end of the handpiece body, and a deployment system disposed within the handpiece body. The deployment system can include a deployment carriage movable between proximal and distal positions within the handpiece body and a deployment plunger with a proximal end secured to the deployment carriage and a distal end to engage a folded IOL. The insertion apparatus may further include a damping feature protruding from a wall of the deployment chamber or a portion of the deployment system. The first damping feature may be positioned and arranged to increase a resistance to movement of the deployment system along a portion of a path traveled thereby between the proximal and distal positions.

An intraocular lens (IOL) insertion apparatus includes a handpiece body having a distal tip and a proximal section. The IOL insertion apparatus also includes a folding chamber located within the handpiece body, the folding chamber shaped to fold an IOL advancing through the folding chamber. The IOL insertion apparatus also includes an advancement system. The advancement system includes an advancement carriage movable between a first position and a second position within the handpiece body. The advancement carriage includes a spring system biasing the advancement carriage in a distal direction toward the second position and a dampening system to dampen motion of the advancement carriage. The advancement system further includes an elongated advancement plunger that includes a distal end to advance the IOL through the folding chamber and a proximal end connected to the advancement carriage.
