Paul Evans received the Alcon Award for the best video presentation at the United Kingdom and Ireland Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons Conference held in Chester on 17 September 2002 when he presented a paper entitled Prophylactic Phocoemulsification for a Canine following Blackthorn Penetration of the Lens. The paper was accompanied by a video presentation of the operation and was watched by the 200 medical ophthalmologists and himelf, being the only veterinary ophthalmologist present at the meeting.

Afterwards he received the Alcon award for the best presentation during the conference.

The video showed the successful removal of a 7mm long blackthorn from a dog's eye and injection of an IOL, saving the animal's sight in that eye.
