Abstract
An intraocular lens supply system is provided. The intraocular lens supply system includes a housing and a cartridge. The cartridge is configured to receive an intraocular lens and can be inserted into the housing. The intraocular lens supply system further includes a heating element including a latent heat accumulator and a nucleating agent, and a pressure element which is coupled to the cartridge or the housing and which can be displaced such that the pressure element exerts a pressing force onto the nucleating agent when the cartridge is inserted into the housing in such a manner that thermal energy can be supplied to the cartridge from the heating element.
