An intraocular lens injector is disclosed. The injector (10) includes a passage (64) formed in a distal end portion (60) of the intraocular lens injector. The passage defines an interior surface (710), and a ramp (708) is formed on the interior surface so as to cause a leading haptic (450) of an intraocular lens (70) being advanced through the passage to lift above a surface of an optic (460) of the IOL to ensure proper folding of the IOL.
