1. An apparatus for use in implanting intraocular lenses, the apparatus comprising:
an axial elongate hollow conduit having first and second ends and defining an intraocular lens injection pathway extending along a longitudinal axis, said axial elongate hollow conduit being formed at said first end with a syringe connector defining a removable syringe mounting location and being formed at said second end with an angled edge; and
a pusher element located within said axial elongate hollow conduit between said syringe connector and said second end,
at least one of said axial elongate hollow conduit and said pusher element including a fluid pathway for enabling viscoelastic material to pass through said syringe connector and said pusher element to a location between said pusher element and said second end of said axial elongate hollow conduit.
