Claim:
1. An intraocular lens loading assembly, comprising: an intraocular lens having an optic portion, a leading haptic, and a trailing haptic; and a loading device having a leading haptic receiving area, an optic receiving area, a trailing haptic receiving area, and a channel proximal to the optic receiving area, the leading haptic receiving area disposed distal to the trailing haptic area, the trailing haptic area extending laterally away from an axis passing through the channel, the optic receiving area, and the leading haptic receiving area, wherein the intraocular lens and the loading device are both configured with surfaces so that, when the leading haptic is positioned in the leading haptic receiving area and extending distally away from the optic portion towards a distal port, the leading haptic is in a deformed state relative to an at-rest configuration, and when the trailing haptic is positioned in the trailing haptic receiving area, the trailing haptic is deformed relative to an at-rest configuration.
