Advanced Surface Ablation
Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) is a type of PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy). It’s used for people who want to get rid of glasses or contact lenses but can’t have LASIK because their cornea is too irregular or thin.

What is Advanced Surface Ablation?
Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) is a modern version of an older eye surgery called Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK). Here’s how it works:
- Numbing Drops: First, eye drops are used to numb your eye so you don’t feel pain.
- Removing the Outer Layer: The outer surface of your eye (the cornea) is gently removed using a special solution.
- Laser Treatment: After removing this layer, a laser is used to reshape the cornea, which helps improve your vision.
This procedure helps you see clearly without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) is a type of eye surgery where the outer layer of the cornea is removed and then treated to correct vision problems.
Here’s what to expect:
- Duration: The procedure takes about 20 minutes and doesn’t hurt.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the surgery, you’ll wear a soft contact lens to protect your eye while the outer layer of the cornea heals.
- Contact Lens: This lens will stay on your eye for a week and doesn’t need daily cleaning.
- Follow-Up: Your doctor will remove the contact lens during your follow-up visit.
Advanced Surface Ablation Procedure
Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) is a simple, outpatient eye surgery that helps improve vision. Here’s how it works:
- Numbing the Eye: First, eye drops are used to numb your eye so you won’t feel any pain.
- Removing the Outer Layer: A thin outer layer of the cornea, called the epithelium, is gently removed using a special laser.
- Reshaping the Cornea: The laser then reshapes the cornea to correct vision problems.
- No Flap Needed: Unlike some other procedures, ASA doesn’t require creating a flap in the cornea. It includes options like LASEK, Epi-LASIK, and PRK.
- Recovery: After the procedure, it usually takes about 48 to 72 hours to recover. Your doctor will give you eye drops, medications, and specific instructions for care, which can vary based on your situation.
Are ASA And LASIK are Same?
No, ASA and LASIK are different, even though both use lasers to treat vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
LASIK:
- In LASIK, a flap is first created in the cornea (the clear front part of the eye).
- This flap is then lifted to expose the inner layers of the cornea.
- A laser reshapes the cornea beneath the flap to correct vision.
- After the reshaping, the flap is placed back.
Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA):
- ASA does not involve creating a flap.
- Instead, it removes the outer layer of the cornea and reshapes the surface directly with a laser.
Differences:
- LASIK can sometimes cause issues like glare, halos, and reduced vision at night due to the flap.
- Newer LASIK technologies, like Allegretto Wave Laser, have improved these risks with precise laser systems and eye tracking.
ASA is often recommended when LASIK isn’t suitable, such as for people with thin corneas or those who have a very active lifestyle.
Advantages Of ASA Over LASIK
ASA is a highly advanced correction procedure that is precise, accurate, and ensures a great reduction in the attendant risks of eye surgeries. The benefits of ASA over LASIK include the following –
Flap creation is eliminated and so are the related risks and problems, some of which may occur many years after surgery.
Since there is no flap, the surgeon can increase the safety margin for corneal thickness to 110-180 microns, thus improving the efficiency.
Laser treatments can create an irregular surface causing the central corneal area to bulge. This is known as ECTASIA, and ASA reduces this risk to a great extent.
Immediate or long term problems such as dry eyes are also eliminated by the Advanced Surface Ablation procedure.

This blade-free method of eye surgery is appealing to many people. One small downside of ASA is that your vision might be a bit blurry for a few days after the surgery. However, this blurriness is temporary, and most patients can drive within about four days. Today’s ASA is much more advanced compared to the earlier version of PRK from twenty years ago. The old procedures had good results but were more uncomfortable. With improved lasers and techniques, modern ASA is nearly painless for most patients.
