    Abstract: An apparatus for eye surgery may comprise a nozzle having a delivery lumen, an implant bay coupled to the nozzle, and an implant disposed in the implant bay. The implant may comprise an optic body, a leading haptic, and a trailing haptic. In some examples, the implant may be an intraocular lens. The apparatus may further comprise an actuator comprising a housing and a plunger disposed within the housing and a leading splay arm operable to splay the leading haptic within the implant bay. The plunger can be operable to advance the optic body from the implant bay to the delivery lumen after the leading splay arm straightens the leading haptic.
