Abstract
An intraocular lens implant packaging system equipped with a mechanism for holding and folding a foldable intraocular lens implant having been packaged and sterilized therein. The packaging system includes a bottle or vial, a sealing apparatus, and a retainer member that removably locks onto the bottle and maintains the sealing apparatus in proper sealing alignment over an open end of the bottle. The intraocular lens implant stored within the bottle is protected during sterilization, storage and transportation such that the intraocular lens is not dislocated or damaged before its intended use.
