In this presentatation from AAO 2016, Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, discusses the newest technology and the latest techniques affecting cataract surgery around the world but not in the US, arguing that

• LASIK is the safest, most successful, and most studied elective procedure in the world.
• LASIK results have continually improved as technology and surgical techniques advance and preoperative diagnostic screening and patient selection have become more refined.
• The golden age of laser vision correction is today, and with new technology on the horizon, the horizon looks even brighter.

The talk is followed by an interactive panel discussion regarding refractive surgery.

This presentation was co-sponsored by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS).
