[...]we completely disagree on the assumption that capsulorhexis does not play an important role in phacovitrectomy. [...]our colleagues question our choice of retinal reattachment surgery in two eyes. [...]we have refrained from bringing too many technicalities in our published paper, given that only 2 cases underwent phacovitrectomy for retinal detachment. [...]our colleagues dogmatically state that "a femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with vitrectomy has no advantages over a conventional phacovitrectomy."
