Yeah there is a flap with LASEK, it's just the method of creating the flap is different - there's no blade like with LASIK. I hear that the chances of corneal haze with LASEK is higher than with LASIK. Something to check out with an impartial medical professional...

I've never managed to get a definitive answer from either a surgeon or optician about whether or not LASIK is detectable with a slit lamp. Most say "probably".

From what I remember there is no topography performed at Aviation House.
