Abstract

A container has an ophthalmic injector holding an intraocular lens and a first vessel at least partially filled with a fluid. The intraocular lens is surrounded by the fluid and the first vessel is provided with a lid which closes the first vessel in a fluid-tight manner and which is releasably connected to the first vessel. A second vessel is coupled to the first vessel. A fluid-tight closure is provided between the first vessel and the second vessel, wherein the lid is coupled to the closure by a coupler, and, when the lid is released from the first vessel, the closure is configured, via the coupler, to pass from a closed position to an open position, such that the fluid can flow from the first vessel into the second vessel.
