Abstract
A method and channeled tool adapted for guiding an intraocular lens into position through an incision in an eye. Indicia means are provided in the tool in the form of two through-holes positioned at pre-determined distances from the distal end of the tool to determine the operable compression range of the intraocular lens haptics so that the surgeon can determine that the subject eye is of a sufficient size to receive the selected intraocular lens.
