In this presentation from AAO 2016, Robert J. Cionni, MD, argues the following points in his rebutal:

• Don't knock a new technology down because it is different.
• Evidence shows that laser-assisted cataract surgery (LACS) can make a difference in both routine and certainly in challenging cases.
• Keep an open mind as LACS continues to improve and we gain more experience with it.
• LACS is the key to innovative technologies and techniques and providing better outcomes for our patients.
