1. An ophthalmosurgical injector, comprising:
an injector body;
a tip with which an intraocular lens can be pushed out of the injector;
a first plunger mounted longitudinally displaceably on the injector body and having a first protrusion;
a shaft mounted rotatably in the injector body and having a first guide slot and a second guide slot which each wind around the shaft; and
a second plunger mounted longitudinally displaceably on the injector body and having a second protrusion,
wherein the first protrusion engages in the first guide slot, such that the first plunger is configured to bring about a rotation of the shaft about a longitudinal axis of the injector body as a result of a longitudinal displacement of the first plunger,
wherein the second protrusion engages in the second guide slot, such that the shaft is configured to bring about a longitudinal displacement of the second plunger as a result of the rotation brought about with the first plunger, and
wherein a pitch ratio of a first pitch of the first guide slot at the position in which the first protrusion engages to a second pitch of the second guide slot at the position in which the second protrusion engages is along an entire driving path larger than zero and smaller than infinite,
wherein the first pitch defines a first positive inclination of the first guide slot along the entire driving path, and
wherein the second pitch defines a second positive inclination of the second guide slot along the entire driving path.
