Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An intraocular lens and an assembly for implanting an IOL into an eye wherein the IOL is provided with first and second truncated edges which engage longitudinal channels formed along opposite sides of an inserter lumen. The truncated edges cause the IOL to maintain a preferred rotational orientation within the inserter lumen thereby minimizing the chance of IOL damage due to unintentional rotation of the IOL as it is being passed through the lumen.
