Claim 0:
1. An injector for implantation of an intraocular lens, comprising:
a base body; and
an elongated actuation element which projects at least partly into a rear section of the base body and which is movably guided along an actuation axis, and wherein a movement of the actuation element into the base body is generated selectively by a push actuation along the actuation axis or by a screw actuation about the actuation axis, and wherein the actuation element features an external thread at least on one section;
wherein:
a switch element is arranged to the base body, the switch element being rotatable about the actuation axis or displaceable along the actuation axis;
the switch element features at least one spring arm, having a thread engagement structure on an inner surface facing the external thread; and
the base body has an inner surface, which forms an operative contact with an outer surface of the at least one spring arm;
the inner surface and/or the outer surface being formed inclined to the actuation axis at an angle; or
the inner surface features an inner radius varying at least in sections in a circumferential direction about the actuation axis, so that upon rotation or upon displacement of the switch element an elastic deformation of the spring arm towards the actuation axis and away from the actuation axis is generated, whereby the thread engagement structure can be selectively engaged or disengaged with the external thread.
