Waite Vision is pleased to share that Dr. Aaron Waite was invited to speak at STAAR Surgical’s 2024 North American Surgeon Summit in Palos Verdes, California. This prestigious event brings together the brightest minds in ophthalmology to discuss the latest advancements in vision correction. Dr. Waite presented on a critical topic in refractive surgery: the best methods for sizing EVO Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) safely, even in the trickiest of cases.
The EVO ICL, developed by STAAR Surgical, is an innovative solution for individuals with nearsightedness, astigmatism, or thin corneas. Unlike LASIK, EVO ICL offers a reversible and minimally invasive option for long-term vision correction. One of the most important aspects of the procedure is selecting the optimal lens size for each patient. Dr. Waite’s presentation, titled “EVO ICL Sizing Conundrum,” dove into the nuances of this process, providing actionable insights for surgeons managing challenging cases.
Dr. Waite is uniquely equipped to tackle this complex topic. With years of experience performing advanced refractive surgeries, and as the top ICL implanter in Utah, he has encountered a wide variety of patient scenarios, from straightforward cases to those requiring innovative problem-solving. During his presentation, he shared real-world examples from his practice, highlight the tools and techniques that have helped him succeed, and offer guidance on achieving the safest and most effective outcomes for patients.
EVO ICL has become increasingly popular among patients seeking visual freedom, and for good reason. Its biocompatible material and minimally invasive design allow for exceptional visual clarity without the need for corneal reshaping. As the global leader behind the EVO ICL, STAAR Surgical has been instrumental in driving innovation in vision correction. The Surgeon Summit is a key event for fostering collaboration among experts in the field, and Dr. Waite’s participation underscores his commitment to advancing the science and practice of ophthalmology.
In addition to sharing his expertise, Dr. Waite had the opportunity to connect with other leading surgeons and exchange ideas about emerging techniques and technologies. Events like the Surgeon Summit are essential for ensuring practices like Waite Vision stay on the leading edge of innovation. Patients can feel confident knowing they’re receiving care from a surgeon who is deeply involved in shaping the future of vision correction.
Dr. Waite’s passion for excellence extends beyond the operating room. As the founder and medical director of Waite Vision in Lehi, Utah, he has built a practice centered on personalized care, advanced technology, and life-changing results. His work with EVO ICL reflects his dedication to providing patients with safe and effective solutions for their vision needs.
