KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — In this Healio Video Perspective from Kiawah Eye, George O. Waring IV, MD, FACS, shares the benefits of transitioning from PRK to the EVO ICL.
The EVO ICL (STAAR Surgical) provides a LASIK-like experience with same-day bilateral surgery, quick recovery “and some additional benefits and features which have been very positive for our practice,” Waring, founder and medical director of the Waring Vision Institute in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, said.
“Most importantly, it sets them up perfectly for a ‘vision for a lifetime’ paradigm; that is, when they’re ready for their next age of ocular maturity and we’re fixing their presbyopia or cataracts, we can simply remove the EVO and still fix their vision when we perform the appropriate procedure at that stage of their life, and patients really love that.”
