What can ASA treat?
ASA removes tissue from the cornea to treat low to high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. ASA is a better choice for those who: • want to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contacts • are over 18 years of age, and do not use bifocal glasses or reading glasses • have had a stable eye prescription for at least one year • have no health issues affecting their eyes • have large pupils and may need a larger optical zone • have corneas too thin for LASIK • want to avoid LASIK flap complications • who want to minimize dry eye problems after surgery For some, LASIK is not an option for vision correction.
