| I've seen several clinics that offer both Advanced Surface Ablation and
Lasek. What is the difference? Sounds pretty much the same in the
descriptions of the methods.

| both dont require a flap so its more forgiving than lasik. Whats your
pescription and your reasons and expectations for lasek? I am not gonna
stop you, but I can offer advice to help inform you and whatever choice
you make its your own informed one.

| Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) is the term used for all surface
ablation refractive surgery techniques using current technology. This
would include PRK, LASEK, and Epi-LASIK.
It is like saying "Ford" rather than "Taurus", "Ranger", & "Mustang".
