disc shaped optic 52 a leading haptic 54 and a trailing haptic 56 typically the optic 52 has opposed convex faces although the present invention is not limited to handling any particular type of iol the haptics 54 56 are shown as thin arcuate members extending outward from opposite edges of the optic 52 and generally in the plane of the optic the haptics 54 56 curve in the same direction in this case a counter clockwise direction looking down on the iol other arrangements of haptics around the optic of iols are known and the present invention is intended to provide a cartridge solution for the illustrated haptic design as well as others in particular iols having leading and trailing haptics often encounter difficulties passing through the cartridge with regard to orientation or positioning of the haptics if one or both of haptics becomes misaligned or otherwise mispositioned within the cartridge the iol may exit the distal tip of the cartridge in a manner that requires further positioning within the eye desirably the surgeon controls delivery of the iol in such a way that it exits the cartridge in the proper orientation to minimize any further need for repositioning with reference still to fig1 3 and also to the detailed views of fig4 8 additional features of the exemplary cartridge 20 will be described fig4 illustrates the cartridge 20.
