Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device dispensing with excessive operation of a lens and/or capable of sufficiently controlling a lens when it enters the eye. SOLUTION: The device 10 for inserting a flexible membrane in the eye has a tubular member 16 having a passage for storing the flexible membrane. The passage has a distal end opened to insert the flexible membrane in the eye, and a plunger 18 movably stored in the passage of the tubular member 16 to move the flexible membrane into the eye through the open distal end of the tubular member 16. The plunger 18 has a distal tip part formed to hold the flexible membrane to the plunger after the whole flexible membrane is pushed out of the passage. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
