A device has been described here which is used as a means of implanting an intrastromal prosthesis, consisting of a segment or ring, on the inside of the patients corneal tunnel. The implanting device eliminates the need to use conventional forceps and includes for this purpose an injector with a support track for the implant segment, attached to a ring carrier piece coupled to the first end of a cylinder base or tunnel. A Delhom apparatus, activated by rotation, includes a central arm with an impeller tip for the insertion of the segment, and a block cover coupled to the opposite end of the cylinder base or tunnel includes a rod that extends along its length, finished in a tip positionable on the inside of the track against the back end of the segment, and a recess to accommodate the carrier arm of the impeller tip and the ring-holder clamp.
