PRK or Advanced Surface Ablation, another Laser Vision Correction Option in San Diego

Advanced Surface Ablation, also called PRK or photorefractive keratectomy, is another laser vision correction option at ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center. Like LASIK, ASA delivers clear, crisp vision especially when paired with custom procedures.

During the ASA procedure, a laser is used to carefully reshape the cornea directly on the surface of the eye. This differs from the LASIK procedure where a corneal flap is created prior to the laser treatment. ASA is often recommended for patients who have corneas that are too thin for LASIK.
