Abstract: An apparatus for eye surgery may comprise a nozzle having a delivery lumen, an implant bay coupled to the nozzle, an implant disposed in the implant bay, and an actuator coupled to the implant bay. The actuator may comprise a housing; a bore through the housing; a plunger disposed within the bore; and a compression ring. The plunger can be configured to advance within the bore, thereby advancing the implant from the implant bay through the delivery lumen, and the bore can be configured to compress the compression ring as the plunger moves through the bore. In some embodiments, the bore can be configured to increase compression on the compression ring as the first end of the plunger moves through the bore.

Abstract: IOL injectors and associated methods are described. An IOL injector may include a collapsible portion configured to reduce the length of the IOL injector when the collapsible portion is altered from an uncollapsed configuration to a collapsed configuration. In some instances, an IOL may be advanced from a storage location to a dwell location when the collapsible portion is altered from the uncollapsed configuration to the collapsed configuration. An IOL injector may include one or more of a hydraulic damper and a ribbed damper.
