Robert Lin, MD:

Hi, I'm Dr. Robert Lin, founder of IQ Laser Vision, also Assistant Clinical Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Today I want to talk about something really exciting. I've been performing a lot of ICL, EVO ICL, and we've been checking the endothelial cell counts, and it's been very, very difficult with the little cards.

So in the last two years, we started with the Konan version of the endothelial cell counter, which is often used in all the FDA studies when it relates to endothelial cell counts. And the older XL version was pretty good. But now we have the new CellChek 20 which actually does everything in 40 seconds, even more reproducible, and it automatically goes from one eye to the other. So in 40 seconds, we have all the information we need to safely deliver the best outcomes for our patients when they're having the EVO ICL.
