Disclosed is an apparatus for compacting an intraocular lens. The apparatus comprises a lens compactor having a first configuration for retaining the intraocular lens in an unstressed condition and a second configuration in which the compactor stresses the lens into an at least partially compacted condition without advancing the lens along an injection axis of the compactor. The compactor accomplishes this by applying a compacting force in a direction generally orthogonal to the optical axis of the lens. The compactor is responsive to a compactor actuator that is movable by a user to change the compactor from the first configuration to the second configuration. Additional apparatus and methods are disclosed as well.

L'invention concerne un appareil permettant de compacter un cristallin artificiel et comprenant un élément de compactage de cristallin présentant une première configuration permettant de retenir le cristallin artificiel dans un état non sollicité et une seconde configuration dans laquelle l'élément de compactage sollicite le cristallin dans un état au moins partiellement compacté, sans avancer le cristallin le long d'un axe d'injection de l'élément de compactage. Un tel résultat est obtenu au moyen de l'élément de compactage par application d'une force de compactage dans un sens généralement orthogonal par rapport à l'axe optique du cristallin. L'élément de compactage répond à une commande pouvant être déplacée par un utilisateur, de manière à faire passer l'élément de compactage de la première configuration à la seconde. L'invention concerne également d'autres appareils et procédés.
