For these circumstances, a different from of laser vision correction cure is considered. The ASLA (Advanced Surface Laser Ablation) technique is used when the LASIK system is considered incompatible for a specific patient, for instance, if the cornea is overly slim or if the corneal topography is irregular or if the corneal face coating (the epithelium) is unstable. ASLA can be used for correction of myopia or astigmatism, but it is not used for correcting hypermetropia.
