AK (Astigmatic Keratotomy) is a corneal incision procedure that corrects astigmatism by making additional incisions in the steeper meridian of the cornea, resulting in a more rounded shape. ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is not a corneal incision procedure, but rather involves implanting a contact lens-like device into the eye to correct vision. LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) involves creating a flap in the cornea and using a laser to reshape the underlying tissue. While LASIK can correct astigmatism, it does not involve making incisions to create a more rounded cornea. ACS (Automated Corneal Shaping) is a non-invasive method of reshaping the cornea using a computer-controlled device that applies pressure to the cornea. It does not involve making incisions in the cornea.
