     1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
     financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
     of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
     and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
     complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
     adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments)
     considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
     results for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, are not
     necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
     ended December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the financial
     statements and footnotes thereto included in the Autonomous Technologies
     Corporation ("Company") Prospectus dated May 1, 1996.

     Fully diluted loss per share is not presented due to the anti-dilutive
     effect of the Company's convertible preferred stock.

     2. FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

        Series D Preferred Stock
        ------------------------

     On February 26, 1996, the Company closed it's offering of Series D
     Preferred Stock.  That offering, which had begun in November 1995, closed
     with a total of 6,819 shares being sold at $500 per share (equivalent to
     1,022,850 common shares being sold at $3.33 per share after giving effect 
     to the 150-for-1 split of common stock on February 14, 1996) with
     net proceeds to the Company of approximately $3,400,000.  Each such share
     was sold with a detachable warrant that permits the holder to buy an
     additional share of the Company's common stock for $3.33 up to its
     expiration date of February 28, 1999.

        Common Stock
        ------------

     On May 7, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering of common
     stock.  The Company sold 2,500,000 shares of common stock at $8.00 per
     share with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $18,100,000, after
     underwriter's discount of $1.4 million and related offering expenses of 
     approximately $500,000. Concurrent with this event, all of the outstanding
     convertible preferred stock and certain debt of the Company were converted
     to common shares.

     In conjunction with the aforementioned initial public offering,
     approximately $364,000 of stock issuance costs have been capitalized on the
     Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 1996.  Those stock issuance costs,
     plus additional costs incurred after March 31, 1996, have been charged
     against the proceeds of the initial public offering during the second
     quarter.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I -- Item 1 of this
Quarterly Report and the audited financial statements and notes thereto and
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contained in the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 filed
with the Securities Exchange Commission on May 1, 1996.

OVERVIEW

Autonomous Technologies Corporation is engaged in the design and development of
the next generation of excimer laser instruments for surgically correcting
myopia and other refractive errors of the human eye such as hyperopia and
astigmatism. The Company's T-PRK(R) System combines high speed, laser radar eye
tracking with precisely scanned narrow beam shaping, with the objective of
improving refractive surgical outcomes for these conditions over those achieved
with radial keratotomy and earlier generation PRK systems.

From its founding in 1985 until late in 1992, the Company worked under various
research grants from the Strategic Defense Initiative, or "Star Wars," and under
a grant to develop laser radar tracking technology. The Company has applied this
technology to eye tracking and developed its LADARVision(R) eye tracking
capability which allows the T-PRK System to track and compensate for any sudden
involuntary eye movement (saccadic eye movement) during the PRK procedure.

The Company is a development stage enterprise. Since inception, the Company has
experienced significant operating losses, and, as of March 31, 1996, had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $9.6 million.  To date, the Company has had
revenues relating only to research grants, which is an endeavor no longer
pursued by the Company. The Company anticipates that its operating losses will
continue for the foreseeable future because it plans to expend substantial
resources in funding clinical trials, sales and marketing activities, commercial
manufacturing, and research and development.  The Company expects that research
and development expenses will remain at relatively high levels for the
foreseeable future due to continued development of the system and algorithms for
higher indications.  Additionally, it expects that both clinical trial costs and
sales and marketing costs will escalate as those programs expand to meet the
Company's business goals.  The foregoing forward looking statements could be
affected by certain risks and uncertainties, including: ongoing results from
clinical trials; foreign market acceptance of the T-PRK System; and the ability
of the Company to ramp up production to adequate levels.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating Expenses

Clinical trials expenses were $195,272 and $116,979 in the quarters ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  These expenses increased 67% due to the
Company's addition of staff in the clinical department and the opening of its
U.S. clinical trials program in mid-March 1996, which was permitted with the
granting of the Company's investigational device exemption by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration on January 3, 1996.

Research and development expenses were $457,750 and $505,501 in the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The decrease of 9% is due to the
fact that R&D staffing has remained approximately stable over these time periods
and there was less R&D travel during the first quarter of 1996 than there had
been during the first quarter of 1995.  In the first quarter of 1995 the
Company's R&D staff was traveling heavily in order to support the opening of
foreign clinical trials.

Selling and marketing expenses of $180,805 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
increased from $2,064 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  This significant
increase reflects the fact that the Company had no sales and marketing function
during the 1995 quarter.  In mid-1995, with the signing of a Strategic Alliance
Agreement with CIBA Vision, the company received a commitment of $1,000,000
worth of contributed sales and marketing services over three years.  In the 1996
quarter, approximately half of the selling and marketing expenses were from this
contributed services agreement and the remainder were direct costs incurred by
the sales and marketing staff at the Company.

General and administrative expenses were $381,869 and $140,914 in the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  This increase of 171% is due to
increased staffing, including the hiring of an Executive Vice President, Chief
Operating Officer and a Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, neither of
which were employed by the Company in the 1995 quarter.  Additionally, the
Company incurred higher levels of travel, legal and other infrastructure costs
as the business prepares for commercial activity.

Other expense of $150,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 related entirely
to the accrual being made for the shares that may be issuable in May 1999 to
CIBA Vision under the terms of the 1995 Strategic Alliance Agreement.  The
shares are to be issued unless certain requirements, relating to the accumulated
6% commission on revenues the Company will pay to CIBA Vision, are satisfied.

Interest income and interest expense

Interest income was $11,757 and $15,271 in the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  The decline was due to lower average cash balances in the
1996 quarter.  Interest expense was $658 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996
compared with none in the 1995 quarter.  This new interest expense is due to a
capital lease obligation that originated in September 1995 for a telephone
system.

Operating and Net Losses

The net effect of the foregoing expense items was that the Company's operating
loss increased to $1,365,696, or 78%, in the quarter ended March 31, 1996, from
$765,458 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The Company's net loss increased
to $1,354,597 or 81%, in the quarter ended March 31, 1996, from $750,187 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $1,339,397 and $492,326 at March
31, 1996, and December 31, 1995, respectively. The company incurred expenditures
of $888,600 to support operations and $81,958 for capital expenditures for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.

As of March 31, 1996, the Company did not have any commitments for material
capital expenditures. In June of 1996, however, the Company committed to a lease
for a main office and production facility of 25,000 square feet. The Company
anticipates occupying the facility in early 1997. The lease term is ten (10)
years with two five year renewal options and termination opportunities at years
five and seven in the lease. Base rent under this lease for the first year is
$237,500, with annual 3% increases in subsequent years. The lease payments will
include rent on up to $500,000 of tenant improvements, including certain
outfitting of production areas.

In May 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,500,000

shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the public offering
was approximately $18,100,000.  The proceeds from the initial public offering
have been invested since receipt in overnight repurchase agreements
collateralized with U.S. Treasury instruments, coupon interest strips on U.S.
Treasury instruments, and U.S. Treasury bills in accordance with the Company's
Cash Investment and Management Policy.  The Company's common stock is quoted on
NASDAQ under the symbol "ATCI".

With the proceeds of the initial public offering, the Company believes that
sufficient liquidity is available to satisfy its working capital needs at least
through mid-1998.
