1. A method of inserting into an eye an ophthalmic device for supporting an artificial intraocular lens, the method comprising:
penetrating the eye at a first location with a distal end region of an insertion tool, the insertion tool having an ophthalmic device positioned inside it;
injecting at least a portion of the ophthalmic device from the insertion tool; and
manipulating the at least a portion of the ophthalmic device via a cannula penetrating the eye at a second location,
wherein the cannula comprises a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end; and
an overcap coupled to the proximal end of the shaft, wherein the cannula extends through a sclera of the eye at the second location so that the proximal end of the shaft remains outside the sclera of the eye and the distal end of the shaft extends within a vitreous chamber of the eye.
