Case Review: Evaluation of Patients for ICL Implantation

Robert Melendez, MD, MBA, sits down with Sila Bal, MD, MPH, to discuss the case of a 32-year-old woman with a history of high myopia who came to the office for evaluation for refractive surgery. Dr. Melendez discusses which patients make good candidates for the EVO ICL (STAAR Surgical) versus traditional corneal refractive surgery. The two surgeons discuss the preoperative workups required for these cases and how to educate patients about the procedure. Dr. Melendez also shares surgical pearls he has gained from implanting these lenses.
