Abstract

An ophthalmological instrument comprises a tube (1) in which a piston (3) slides. A very thin film (14) of flexible material with a low coefficient of sliding friction is attached to the front end of the piston (3). The film (14) serves as a receptacle for a flexible intraocular implant (15). When the piston (3) is drawn into the tube (1), the film (14) and the implant (15) are folded. The folding is continued by the sleeve (13), which rolls the implant (15) in the film (14) in order to introduce it into the tube (1), from whence it can be pushed into the anterior chamber of the eye by manipulating the instrument like a syringe.
