Abstract
Foldable lenses represent a major breakthrough in the effort to achieve ever smaller incisions. The plate-haptic or "taco-style" lenses are folded and implanted by a device called an injector. Although customized for each manufacturer's lens, the injectors all have a common design principle: the intraocular lens (IOL) is folded within a funnel-like structure of the tip and is advanced by a plunger that pushes and delivers the lens. To maintain optimal hand stabilization and injector management, both hands are usually required. This does not leave a hand to help with IOL positioning. To improve handling, a simple, mechanized system has been created for a new injector system that allows the delivery of the plate-haptic lens with one hand, in a pen-like fashion.
