Abstract

The invention is directed to a cassette for accommodating an intraocular lens. The cassette defines a longitudinal axis and includes a base part. Pivotable cover flaps are arranged on the base part so as to be pivotable about the longitudinal axis from a base position to a closed position. The cover flaps are curved at least in selected regions thereof and are configured to be autonomously intrinsically bendable in a defined manner when the cover flaps are moved from the base position to the closed position.
