What is Advanced Surface Ablation?
Advanced surface ablation (ASA), a variant of LASEK, can eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses by correcting short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hypermetropia) and astigmatism.
The visual recovery following ASA is slightly slower than with LASIK or SMILE; it is therefore carried out when LASIK or SMILE are not indicated, such as in thin corneas or corneas with a medical condition such as keratoconus and prior scarring.
