What is best; LASIK or PRK?

Question:

What is best; LASIK or PRK?

Answer:

LASIK is the newest form of corrective eye surgery, and it has several benefits. Firstly, it has increased ability to correct short-sightedness and long-sightedness. Secondly, it is much safer, according to most eye surgeons. LASIK with Zyoptix-Wavefront makes the method particularly safe. The fact that LASIK is the preferred choice among most people is reflected by the high price of the surgery. Most recognised eye surgeons have also found that patients who have been treated with LASIK experience less irritation in the eye after the surgery, than patients having had surgery with the PRK method.
