1. A device to store and transfer an intraocular lens, said device comprising: an intraocular lens; a tray comprised of a proximal end, a distal end, and at least one indentation or aperture, wherein the intraocular lens is capable of being housed within a first portion of the at least one indentation or aperture and wherein a lens cartridge is capable of being housed within a second portion of the at least one indentation or aperture; a push rod in communication with the tray comprised of a handle in communication with a slide, wherein the handle includes a top surface and a sidewall that extends around the perimeter of the top surface and wherein the slide includes a generally planar body; wherein the proximal end of the tray is comprised of a wall with an opening configured and dimensioned to receive the push-rod; wherein while the push-rod is in communication with the tray and while the intraocular lens and the lens cartridge are housed within the first and second portions of the at least one indentation or aperture, respectively, the generally planar body of the push-rod causes controlled movement of the intraocular tens from the at least one indentation or aperture and onto the lens cartridge; and a lock in communication with the tray and the push-rod, wherein the lock is configured to prevent unintentional movement of the push-rod and intraocular lens within the device, and wherein the lock is configured to prevent unintentional movement of the intraocular lens into the lens cartridge.
