“With Evo, most patients experience a dramatic improvement in vision right after the procedure,” Dr. Ling said in a news release.

The practice said April 27 that it is among the first in the U.S. to offer the procedure. The Evo lens is smaller than a typical contact lens and is implanted between the iris and the natural lens and does not involve the removal of corneal tissue.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
