Automated lamellar keratoplasty (ALK), also known as keratomileusis in situ, is a non-laser lamellar refractive procedure used to correct high degree refractive errors.[1] This procedure can correct large amounts of myopia and hyperopia. However, the resultant change is not as predictable as with other procedures.[1]
