Intraocular lens injector

An intraocular lens (IOL) injector comprising:

• an injector body comprising:
• a main body comprising:
• a bore;
• and
• an interior wall defined by the bore, the interior wall including a distal portion and a proximal portion;
• a nozzle coupled to a distal end of the main body, the nozzle comprising:
• a passage in fluid communication with the bore;
• and
• a distal opening in fluid communication with the passage;
• a plunger received in the bore and comprising:
• a plunger body;
• a plunger rod coupled to a distal end of the plunger body;
• and
• a plunger tip formed at a distal end of the plunger rod and adapted to contact an IOL, one of the interior wall and the plunger body including a threaded surface and the other of the interior wall and the plunger body including a feature adapted to engage the threaded surface to produce axial movement of the plunger in response to axial movement or rotation of the plunger body;
• and
• a collapsible portion disposed between a proximal portion of the main body and the nozzle, the collapsible portion moveable between a collapsed configuration and an uncollapsed configuration, the collapsible portion comprising:
• a first sleeve;
• and
• a second sleeve telescopingly received into the first sleeve, the collapsible portion moveable from the uncollapsed configuration in which the first sleeve is at a first position relative to the second sleeve to the collapsed configuration in which the first sleeve is at a second position relative to the second sleeve and the plunger tip moveable from a first plunger tip location to a second plunger tip location distal of the first plunger tip location when the collapsible portion is moved from the uncollapsed configuration to the collapsed configuration, and wherein the plunger remains stationary relative to the main body when the collapsible portion is moved from the uncollapsed configuration to the collapsed configuration.
