Abstract
A cartridge accommodates an intraocular lens and includes first and second cartridge parts pivotally moveable relative to each other to define an open state and a closed state. The first cartridge part has a first base element and a first plate-like wing extending from the first base element. The second cartridge part has a second base element and a second plate-like wing extending from the second base element. The first and second base elements conjointly define a receiving chamber for the lens when the first and second cartridge parts are in the closed state. A lubricant feed arrangement supplies a lubricant for the lens into the receiving chamber from outside of the cartridge when the cartridge is in the closed state. The lubricant feed arrangement includes a feed channel which is formed in one of the cartridge parts and opens into the receiving chamber.
