Claim 0:
1. An injector for implantation of an intraocular lens, comprising:
a base body;
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, 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; and
a switch element arranged on the base body;
wherein;
at least one spring arm is arranged at the base body, the spring arm having a thread engagement structure on an inner surface facing the external thread; and
the switch element interacts with the spring arm and is rotatable about the actuation axis or displaceable along the actuation axis, the switch element interacting with the spring arm via an operative contact, at least one inner surface of the switch element involved in the operative contact and/or an outer surface of the spring arm involved in the operative contact is formed inclined at an angle to 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, the spring arm configured to elastically spring away from the actuation axis, whereby the thread engagement structure is selectively engaged or disengaged with the external thread.
