Abstract

An intraocular lens folder (10) having a generally planar, open frame (12) in the shape of a rounded "A" with a rimmed, open head (14) at die top of the "A". The base of the "A" forms a pair of opposing legs or handles (16) that join to form a hinge (23) at the crotch where the handles attach to the head. The hinge allows the handles to be squeezed together and yet spring apart when released. Squeezing the handles causes the top edge (20) of the head rim (18) to compress and move toward the hinge. The open head contains a plurality of projections terminating in open, relieved jaws (24, 26, 28) into which the IOL
is placed. The location of the projections is such drat when the handles are squeezed together and die rim moves toward the hinge, two of the jaws move toward each other, causing the IOL to be folded in half.
