Laser vs Surface Procedure

• Lasik offers rapid recovery of vision – most people can return to normal lifestyle within forty eight (48) hours.
   
• Both eyes can be operated on in one session.
   
• Disadvantages of Lasik include some weakening of the cornea and complications arisingfrom the creation of a flap or later flap movement.
   
• Surface procedures take longer to heal and are more painful than Lasik.
   
• They also have a risk of long term haziness in the cornea.
