Patent ID: 8062360

Claim:
An injector for injecting an intraocular lens having first and second optics into an eye, said injector comprising: a) an injector main body portion having a lumen extending between a proximal end and a distal end, and including a lens mounting surface adapted for placement of the intraocular lens thereon in an initially loaded condition, an opening at the distal end of the lumen, and a ramp; wherein said ramp is located further from the opening than said lens mounting surface; and an injector tip having an opening for delivering the intraocular lens into the eye; the injector tip being moveable relative to the injector main body, and the injector tip having a lumen extending between an injector tip proximal end and an injector tip distal end, said injector tip proximal end adapted to be connected to the distal end of said injector main body portion; said injector tip comprising a lens moving element operable to move said first optic along said ramp toward said injector body proximal end when the injector tip proximal end is connected to the distal end of said injector main body portion.
