An apparatus for intraocular injection comprising a body (101) adapted to accommodate an injection device, a displacement device (110) coupled to a distal end (102) of the body (101), and a sleeve (104) coupled to the body (101) and axially moveable relative to the body (101). The displacement device (110) includes at least one rotatable member adapted to contact a superficial layer of an eye (50), and the sleeve (104) engages and causes rotation of the at least one rotatable member as the sleeve moves from a first axial position to a second axial position. Rotation of the at least one rotatable member displaces the superficial layer relative to an underlying layer of the eye (50).
