A cartridge for an intraocular lens (L) for use in an injector (I) has an at least approximately plane resting surface (4) for supporting the lens (L) in a partially folded or non-folded state, an arched surface (11) which adjoins the resting surface (4), and a sliding element (3) with which the partially folded or non-folded lens (L) supported on the resting surface (4) can be slid along the arched surface (11) and folded, in particular rolled. By means of this cartridge, an intraocular artificial lens can be brought to the smallest possible format in a simple manner and without damage to the lens.
