Abstract

This invention is a lens injecting device (10) including a slidable plunger (16) and means for providing a force (24) in a direction opposite to the direction of advancement of the slidable plunger (16) to provide controlled release of the deformable intraocular lens fromn the lens injection device (10). Further this is a method of implantation of a deformable intraocular lens in the eye by forcing the deformable intraocular lens in a folded or condensed configuration through a passageway through an incision in the eye while applying an opposing force to control release of the deformable intraocular lens into the eye.
