Nicely done Gary. Couple thoughts: please do at least one PI to reduce pupil block and iris chafe (ask me how I know); doing one haptic at a time does create more lens manipulation than you might think (I've seen Miyake videos) so using the double needle technique is preferred IMO. Nice marking on your part and the low temp cautery is the way to go for control. I especially like the trailing haptic tuck which I'll borrow from now on. Thanks for posting!
