Abstract:
1. An assembly comprising: an intraocular lens insertion tool; and an intraocular lens, the intraocular lens insertion tool includes an tool body having a generally tubular shape adapted to accommodate the intraocular lens positioned in an enclosed state therein, and a plunging member adapted to be inserted into the tool body from behind in an axial direction so that the intraocular lens is transported forward in the axial direction while experiencing slight deformation and pushed out through an insertion tube part disposed in an axial distal end part of the tool body in order to insert the intraocular lens within an eye, wherein: the tool body has a placement part communicating with a base end of the insertion tube part; a placement surface for placement of the intraocular lens is formed on the placement part, and at least one insertion hole is formed in the placement part at a site thereof where the placement surface has been formed; a carrying member is attached from outside the placement surface; and a plurality of support parts projected from the carrying member are passed through the insertion hole and arranged projecting up from the placement surface, with the intraocular lens being supported on projecting distal end faces of the support part, and the intraocular lens includes a main body section having an optical region, and retaining parts that project peripherally outward from the main body section for the purpose of positioning the main body section within the eye, wherein the projecting distal end faces of the support parts contact the intraocular lens at locations away from the optical region of the main body section, with at least the one of the outside peripheral edge part of the main body section and the retaining parts being supported by the support parts.
