The injector for injecting a flexible intraocularimplant comprises: a channel (14) having a main portion(18, 30) of diameter D1, an open end portion (34) ofdiameter D2 (with D2 <； D1), and a transition portion(32)； a rigid piston (16) movable along the channel topush the folded implant in the channel, and asubstantially circularly symmetrical thrust part (40)made of a material that is hydrophobic and elasticallydeformable, said thrust part having an outside diameterD3 not less than D1, said part (40) being placed in saidchannel between the folded implant (1) and the end ofsaid piston (16) without being mechanically connected tosaid piston. When the implant is pushed in the channelby the piston, said thrust part can deform elastically topenetrate in part into the end portion of the channel,thereby expelling the implant from the channel, andremaining jammed in said end portion of the channel whenthe piston is withdrawn.
