An apparatus for folding an intraocular lens or other implant before inserting it into an eye in various locations using variable surgical techniques. Some embodiments may comprise or consist essentially of a haptic folding mechanism configured to fold one or more haptics onto the top of an optic prior to the optic being folded into a nozzle. In some embodiments, a leading haptic lifter or lifting mechanism can be configured to elevate and constrain a leading haptic during implant delivery. This leading haptic folding mechanism can passively lift the leading haptic onto the top of the optic.
