Abstract

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