Abstract

An injector system for implanting an intraocular lens into an eye includes an injector body having a front and rear ends; a cannula arranged at the front end, which provides a transport channel for a lens to be implanted; a magazine with a receptacle area for a lens which is securable in the receptacle area by a retainer, the magazine being arranged so that a lens can be fed into the transport channel via the preferably lateral inlet opening; a folding body insertable into the magazine and into the inlet opening, for pushing the lens into the transport channel in a manner so that the lens is partially foldable around the folding body; and a slider which is slideably arranged in the injector body and which can be pushed into the transport channel via the front end so that the lens can be ejected from the transport channel.
