What is the difference between wavefront lasik lasek and prk?Erick
"The primary difference between conventional Lasik and wavefront custom Lasik is the mapping system that guides the laser. Wavefront can be used for virtually all laser eye surgery techniques including All-Laser Lasik, Lasik, PRK, LASEK, and Epi-Lasik." http://www.usaeyes.org/lasik/faq/lasek.h… http://www.usaeyes.org/lasik/faq/epi-las…I could keep copying info that I think is good from these, but there is so much good information. It talks about how after PRK, there was a problem with a little haziness sometimes...because of the injury to the eye, cells were sent there, and created a "haze." And with Lasik, there is a flap, but the cornea is "fooled" into thinking there is no injury, so it won't produce the haze.Ask your opthalmologist lots of questions because that's his job, so don't feel bad about wanting to be clear about your options.
