    How ASA Works

    ASA treats the surface of the cornea: no flap is made. ASA uses excimer lasers capable of eye tracking and wavefront customized treatment to reshape the front surface of the cornea to correct vision. A temporary soft contact lens is placed on the eye for a few days following surgery to assist in the healing process.
