Abstract
Intraocular lens inserters and methods of use are disclosed. An example intraocular lens inserter may include an interior assembly having a movable member disposed therein. The movable member is movable in response to a pressure of a compressed gas. In response to the pressure of the compressed gas, the moveable member pressurizes a substantially incompressible fluid. The pressurized substantially incompressible fluid is used to advance a plunger. The plunger advances an intraocular lens through a lumen for insertion into an eye.
