What is ASLA (also known as LASEK)? How does ASLA work? Customised treatments How is ASLA different from PRK? The ASLA procedure Frequently asked questions about ASLA What is ASLA (also known as LASEK)? ASLA stands for Advanced Surface Laser Ablation. This procedure is commonly used at Vistaeyes. ASLA is indicated for patients with thin corneas and/or high prescriptions where there is not enough room on the cornea to perform LASIK. ASLA vision correction is achieved by gently removing the cell layer that sits on the surface of the cornea like a skin. At Vistaeyes we use the LADARVision® laser. This laser reshapes the inner corneal tissue with its cool 0.8mm Gaussian laser beam. This ultra fine laser beam in combination with the LADARVision active eye tracker tracks the position of the eye 4000 times per second and shapes the cornea with precision previously unavailable. Dr Wolfe is one of the most experienced ASLA surgeons in Victoria and is recognised worldwide for his skills in performing this procedure.
