I got PRK which is more recommended for military, police, and pilots, due to the stronger re-healing of the eye. LASIK is "approved" for military pilots but unofficially they advocate PRK. Same doctor, same laser, same machine. Wavefront Guided PRK. Do some google research.

However for Joe Blow who works in a cubicle 9-5 or a tranquillo job, LASIK is fine. Just remember that the flap never reheals to original strength. This is one reason that 10 years later, most LASIK patients need a "touch up" surgery. This is rare in PRK patients.

Either surgery, pay for Wavefront Guided surgery.

My vision is 20/10 both eyes. Good Luck
