Answer 2

Consider Advanced Surface Ablation.  The military approved this type of laser correction a while back.  With ASA, there is no flap made in the cornea.  The laser correction is done to the front surface of the cornea.  After the laser, bandage contact lenses are put on for about 4-5 days while the cornea is healing.  You will be able to see but your vision will flucuate for a few months.  Most people can see well enough to drive in a day or two.  The treatment is excellent but it just has a longer recovery than the lasik procedure.  This surgery is not new.  Make sure the doctor that does the procedure has the Wavelight Allegretto laser.  It is the most accurate laser available.  A lot of doctors don't have it because of the cost.
