PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an intraocular lens inserter capable of favorably pushing out an intraocular lens.SOLUTION: This intraocular lens inserter is provided with a retainer section retaining an optical section composed of a deformable elastic material and the intraocular lens having a pair of support sections attached to the optical section in a state of applying a stress thereto, an insertion section provided at the distal end side of the retainer section for inserting the intraocular lens from an incision provided in an eyeball, an inserter body of a tubular structure having the insertion section at its distal end, and a pushing means axially extractably/retractably provided in the tube of the inserter body for pushing out the intraocular lens from the insertion section with the stress applied thereto. The distal end of the pushing means is formed with a recess section having an opening for gripping a part of the optical section, and the recess section has a left/right asymmetric shape to the axis of the pushing means for moving the intraocular lens in the direction of deflecting from the axis of the pushing means.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】 眼内レンズを好適に押し出すことが可能な眼内レンズ挿入器具を提供する。【解決手段】 変形可能な弾性材料からなる光学部と光学部に取り付けられる一対の支持部を有する眼内レンズを応力を掛けた状態で保持する保持部と、保持部の先端側に設けられ眼球に設けられた切開創から眼内レンズを挿入するための挿入部と、挿入部を先端に設けた筒構造の挿入器具本体と、応力が掛けられた状態で挿入部から眼内レンズを押し出すために挿入器具本体の筒内で軸方向に進退移動可能に設けられた押出手段と、を備え、押出手段の先端には光学部の一部を把持可能とするための開口を持つ凹部が形成されているとともに凹部は挿入部を出た眼内レンズを押出手段の軸線上から外す方向に移動させるために押出手段の軸に対して左右非対称な形状を有する。【選択図】 図7
