I had LASEK (a less invasive, longer recovery option to LASIK) a few years ago.

My suggestion is if you are at all interested in the procedure, and I would HIGHLY recommend it, is to find a doctor that performs both styles of procedures, will educate you fully on the pros and cons of both, and will offer recommendations with quantitative reasoning. I went with the LASEK route for many reasons, however my cornea in one eye was too thin to support the correction needed for LASIK with the number of microns lost due to the scalpel incision.

The largest issues are that the outcomes of LASIK/LASEK are quasi-permanent and that there are many more variables involved than just an eye exam, including your own calmness during the procedure.

My doctor offered, as long as the eye can support the number of microns lost due to the correction, to perform a followup surgery if results ended up being poorer than 20/30 after the first surgery, free of charge. It took a few days before I could see the results (an issue with the method of procedure) however I resulted with 20/20 in one eye and 20/15 in the other.

Agreed! LASEK is the solution that I've found to be the best for me and for the majority of people who look into it.

As mentioned above, I feel like I ought to be evangelical about this as the quality of life increase is incredible.
