Patent ID: 8857803

Claim:
A holder for an intraocular lens, the holder comprising: an upper member having a base portion extending from the upper member along a first longitudinal axis; and a lower member having a receiving member defining a cavity for receiving the intraocular lens and a coupling member for engaging the base portion, the receiving member extending from the lower member along a second longitudinal axis and having at least one channel extending substantially through the receiving member that is substantially transverse to the second longitudinal axis, wherein the holder has a locked position such that the upper and lower members are locked with respect to each other and the at least one channel provides unobstructed access into the cavity of the receiving member for obtaining a dimensional measurement of the intraocular lens when the holder is in the locked position; wherein the upper member has a conical shape axial bore extending through the base portion in a direction substantially parallel with the first longitudinal axis, the conical shape axial bore providing an unobstructed access into the cavity of the receiving member for obtaining an optical measurement of the intraocular lens when the holder is in the locked position.
