Automated Lamellar Keratoplasty (ALK) - Lasik Term and Glossary

A refractive eye surgery procedure that has been used successfully in correcting relatively high degrees of nearsightedness and some cases of farsightedness. The first step in the procedure involves the removal of a flap of tissue from the central zone of the cornea, using an ultra-sophisticated surgical instrument known as a microkeratome. The instrument is further used to slice micro-thin layers of the exposed corneal tissue as required to correct the existing refractive eye disorder. The flap is then replaced without use of sutures.
