Olson, MD, who discussed the impact of FLACS on standard of care at Hawaiian Eye 2017.“The big question at this point is, is it better?” he asked. “We know it adds expense. We know it adds time. It must be adding something or all of you wouldn’t be trying it, and a lot of people wouldn’t be talking about it.”
