A member asked:

What laser eye correction operation is better in all ways: lasik or lasek?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Little difference: These both produce excellent end results and there is little to choose between them. Discuss this with your refractive ophthalmic surgeon who can explain the difference and whether one or the other is better for you.
