An intraocular lens injection system comprising an injecting device and cartridge.
The cartridge comprises a lens holding portion and an outer sleeve portion. The
invention includes a method of pre-loading the injecting system, particularly the
cartridge, to reduce the amount of packaging, prevent damage to the intraocular
lens during packaging and shipping, allow the pre-loaded injecting cartridge to
be autoclaved as a unit, and eliminate the step of loading the cartridge with the
intraocular lens by the end user to prevent potential damage during this step.
