Abstract

An intraocular lens injector (10) compresses an intraocular lens by rolling the lens (65) into a tight spiral and injects the compressed lens (65) through a relatively small incision (78) in the eye (76) wherein the lens expands back into its uncompressed state. The lens is inserted into a receiving channel (18) of the injector (10) wherein as the lens is advanced along the passageway (20), the lens will roll tightly into a spiral. An insertion rod (100) having a cup-shaped recess (102) on the distal end and also having a venting system (108, 110) for excess lubricant, advances the compressed lens down the passageway (20).
