About Mr Sam Evans

Mr Sam Evans is a leading consultant ophthalmologist, with over 15 years of experience, based in Plymouth and Carmarthenshire. He offers care for a wide range of ophthalmological issues, focusing principally on cataract surgery, clear lens extraction, glaucoma, oculoplastic surgery, macular degeneration and general ophthalmology. Mr Evans initially trained in the South West of England before relocating to Wales in 2009. He underwent training across South Wales, including Carmarthen, before transitioning to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. Mr Evans has extensive experience in oculoplastic surgery through sub-specialty training, alongside a broad spectrum of ophthalmic conditions and procedures. Renowned as a skilled cataract surgeon, he has also served as a trainer and mentor for NHS trainees. With a passion for enhancing patient experiences and streamlining the work of ophthalmologists, Mr Evans takes pride in innovating successful British surgical and medical devices. Together with fellow ophthalmologists, he co-developed the SP.eye intravitreal injection device, revolutionising the injection process to be highly efficient, safe, and comfortable compared to traditional techniques. Notably, it stands as the world's first of its kind. Additionally, he introduced the enVoi™ app, facilitating self-referral for surgery consultations from the comfort of the patient’s home, reducing hospital visits to just one for the surgery itself.
