ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION A system (10, 100) for facilitating folding of a soft intraocular lens (18). A supporting and positioning structure (14, 16 or 112, 114) associated with a base or frame (12 or 102) presents the lens (18) so that forceps tips (20) are automatically positioned near opposite sides of the lens (18) and maintained in that position. A forming means (14, 16 and 28, 30 or 108, 110 and 112, 114) automatically moves the forceps tips (20) with respect to the lens (18) to fold the optic portion (32) of the lens (18) within the tips (20). The lens (18) is accurately and reliably folded in the forceps tips (20) to securely grip the lens (18) in a desired position with reduced risk of damage to the optic portion (32) of the lens (18).
