An intraocular lens injector comprising: an injector body comprising: a bore defined by an interior wall; a longitudinal axis extending centrally along the injector body; a distal end portion comprising: a first sidewall; a second sidewall disposed opposite the first sidewall; a third sidewall extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall; and a fourth sidewall opposite the third sidewall, the first sidewall, second sidewall, third sidewall, and fourth sidewall joined to define a passage forming a portion of the bore; a first ramp formed on an interior surface of the passage along the first sidewall and laterally offset from the longitudinal axis, the first ramp disposed at a position within the passage to contact a leading haptic of an intraocular lens, the first ramp comprising: a first leading surface being sloped and inwardly extending from the interior surface into the passage; and a first peak disposed at a distal end of the first ramp disposed at a distal end of the first leading surface; and a plunger slideable in the bore, wherein the intraocular lens injector is characterized in that the first leading surface comprises a first plurality of steps therealong. an injector body comprising: a bore defined by an interior wall; a longitudinal axis extending centrally along the injector body; a distal end portion comprising: a first sidewall; a second sidewall disposed opposite the first sidewall; a third sidewall extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall; and a fourth sidewall opposite the third sidewall, the first sidewall, second sidewall, third sidewall, and fourth sidewall joined to define a passage forming a portion of the bore; a first ramp formed on an interior surface of the passage along the first sidewall and laterally offset from the longitudinal axis, the first ramp disposed at a position within the passage to contact a leading haptic of an intraocular lens, the first ramp comprising: a first leading surface being sloped and inwardly extending from the interior surface into the passage; and a first peak disposed at a distal end of the first ramp disposed at a distal end of the first leading surface; and a bore defined by an interior wall; a longitudinal axis extending centrally along the injector body; a distal end portion comprising: a first sidewall; a second sidewall disposed opposite the first sidewall; a third sidewall extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall; and a fourth sidewall opposite the third sidewall, the first sidewall, second sidewall, third sidewall, and fourth sidewall joined to define a passage forming a portion of the bore; a first sidewall; a second sidewall disposed opposite the first sidewall; a third sidewall extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall; and a fourth sidewall opposite the third sidewall, the first sidewall, second sidewall, third sidewall, and fourth sidewall joined to define a passage forming a portion of the bore; a first ramp formed on an interior surface of the passage along the first sidewall and laterally offset from the longitudinal axis, the first ramp disposed at a position within the passage to contact a leading haptic of an intraocular lens, the first ramp comprising: a first leading surface being sloped and inwardly extending from the interior surface into the passage; and a first peak disposed at a distal end of the first ramp disposed at a distal end of the first leading surface; and a first leading surface being sloped and inwardly extending from the interior surface into the passage; and a first peak disposed at a distal end of the first ramp disposed at a distal end of the first leading surface; and a plunger slideable in the bore, wherein the intraocular lens injector is characterized in that the first leading surface comprises a first plurality of steps therealong.
