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 plunger disposed within the housing, a bore through the plunger, a first coupling proximate to a first end of the plunger, and a second coupling integral to the housing. The bore may be fluidly coupled to the implant bay. The first coupling may be configured to receive a hydraulic driver and fluidly couple a working fluid in the hydraulic driver to the bore. A portion of the plunger may be slidingly disposed through the second coupling. In some embodiments, the second coupling may be configured to retain a drive coupling of the hydraulic driver in a fixed position relative to the housing.

Abstract: An apparatus for delivering an implant to an eye using hydraulic fluid flow or pressure. An implant may be stored, advanced, and delivered to an eye using hydraulic fluid stored in a sterile container through a hollow advancement plunger. The plunger may rigidly advance the implant to a sealed position in a first phase, and then the implant may be advanced into the eye via hydraulic pressure or fluid flow in a second phase.

Abstract: An apparatus for delivering an implant to an eye using a push rod and hydraulic fluid flow or pressure. An implant may be stored, advanced, and delivered to an eye using hydraulic fluid, which can be stored in the apparatus or a sterile container and delivered through the push rod. The plunger may rigidly advance the implant to a sealed position in a first phase, and then the implant may be advanced into the eye via hydraulic pressure or fluid flow in a second phase.

Abstract: An apparatus for eye surgery may comprise a nozzle having a delivery lumen, an implant bay coupled to the nozzle, and an implant disposed in the implant bay. The implant may comprise an optic body, a leading haptic, and a trailing haptic. In some examples, the implant may be an intraocular lens. The apparatus may further comprise an actuator comprising a housing and a plunger disposed within the housing and a leading splay arm operable to splay the leading haptic within the implant bay. The plunger can be operable to advance the optic body from the implant bay to the delivery lumen after the leading splay arm straightens the leading haptic.
