An intraocular insertion device (1) capable of safely performing discharge operation of a lens (2) by a simpler construction. The intraocular lens insertion device (1) has a body (5) provided with a lens placement section (3) where the lens (2) is placed and a tube section (4) for inserting the lens (2) into an eye and has a plunger (6) for discharging the lens (2) placed on the lens placement section (3). The lens placement section (3) has an upper holding member (12) and a lower holding member (14). The upper holding member (12) has a rib (15) projecting on advancement axis A, to the lower side of the lens placement section (3). The lower holding member (14) has a U-shaped cross-section and is constituted of a left and right pair of uprising sections (18) and a pressing section (20) uniting the uprising sections (18) at their lower ends.

1. A method for use with an intraocular lens and an intraocular lens insertion device, the intraocular lens including an optical area with an optical axis, an edge region that surrounds the optical area, and first and second haptics that extend outwardly from the edge region, and the intraocular lens insertion device including a lens storage section, a tube section having an opening through which the intraocular lens exits the intraocular lens insertion device, a plunger that moves through the lens storage section to the tube section along a lens advancement axis that extends through the lens storage section and the tube section, and a lens deformation mechanism associated with the lens storage section, the method comprising the steps of: prior to movement of the lens deformation mechanism, maintaining the position of the intraocular lens within the lens storage section in an unstressed state and on the lens advancement axis such that the intraocular lens defines front and back portions that are spaced from one another along the lens advancement axis and side portions that are spaced from one another in a direction transverse to the lens advancement axis; andfolding the intraocular lens with the deformation mechanism into a U-shape where the front and back portions are spaced from one another along the lens advancement axis. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein maintaining the position of the intraocular lens within the lens storage section comprises contacting a first side of the intraocular lens with a first portion of the deformation mechanism at the side portions and contacting a second side of the intraocular lens with a second portion of the deformation mechanism at the front and back portions. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first side of the intraocular lens comprises the top side; andthe second side of the intraocular lens comprises the bottom side. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the deformation mechanism includes first and second holding members; andfolding the intraocular lens comprises moving at least one of the first and second holding members relative to the other while a first side of the intraocular lens is contacted by the first holding member and a second side of the intraocular lens is contacted the second holding member. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: preventing the plunger from moving through the lens storage section with a portion of the deformation mechanism until after the deformation mechanism folds the intraocular lens. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the deformation mechanism includes first and second holding members; andmaintaining the position of the intraocular lens comprises contacting the front and back portions of the intraocular lens with the first holding member and contacting the side portions of the intraocular lens with the second holding member. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein contacting the front and back portions of the intraocular lens comprises contacting the front and back portions of the edge region of the intraocular lens; andcontacting the side portions of the intraocular lens with the second holding member contacting the side portions of the edge region of the intraocular lens. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein folding the intraocular lens comprises moving at least one of the first and second holding members relative to the other while a first side of the intraocular lens is contacted by the first holding member and a second side of the intraocular lens is contacted the second holding member. 9. The method of claim 6, wherein folding the intraocular lens comprises moving at least one of the first and second holding members relative to the other while the front and back portions of the edge region of a first side of the intraocular lens are contacted by the first holding member and the side portions of the edge region of a second side of the intraocular lens is contacted the second holding member. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the first lens holding member is configured such that it does not contact a portion of the intraocular lens between the front and back portions of the intraocular lens. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: pushing the lens through the tube section with the plunger after the deformation mechanism folds the intraocular lens. 12. A method for use with an intraocular lens and an intraocular lens insertion device, the intraocular lens including an optical area with an optical center, and the intraocular lens insertion device including a lens storage section, a tube section having an opening through which the intraocular lens exits the intraocular lens insertion device, a plunger that moves through the lens storage section to the tube section along a lens advancement axis, and a lens deformation mechanism, the method comprising the steps of: prior to movement of the lens deformation mechanism, maintaining the position of the intraocular lens within the insertion device in an unstressed state with the optical center of the optical area on the lens advancement axis; andfolding the intraocular lens with the lens deformation mechanism into a folded shape, with the optical center remaining on the lens advancement axis, by moving at least a portion of the lens deformation mechanism in a direction that is transverse to the lens advancement axis. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the intraocular lens includes an edge region that surrounds the optical area; andthe step of maintaining the position of the intraocular lens within the lens storage section in an unstressed state and on the lens advancement axis comprises contacting side portions of the edge region, which are spaced from one another in a direction transverse to the lens advancement axis, with the lens deformation mechanism. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the lens deformation mechanism includes first and second holding members; andthe step of folding the intraocular lens comprises moving at least one of the first and second holding members relative to the other. 15. The method of claim 12, further comprising the step of: preventing the plunger from moving past the lens deformation mechanism until after the lens deformation mechanism folds the intraocular lens. 16. The method of claim 12, wherein folding the intraocular lens comprises folding the intraocular lens into a U-shape.
