The pre-shaped spiral intraocular lens fixation device has a hollow housing, the hollow housing having an elongate neck, an elongate handle, and a vacuum chamber. A selectively operable vacuum source is operatively attached to the housing to provide suction. A head is disposed at an end of the neck distal from the handle and a tubular structure is positioned within the hollow housing and extending through the neck out through the head. The tubular structure has a spiral-shaped position and can be made of a nitinol material. An actuating mechanism moves the tubular structure from a spiral-shaped position to a straight position.
