I am having wavefront technology, with LASIK.

I've got to have it anyway, I sit behind a computer all the time and am having issues in general with my eyes. The added bonus is that I may be able to pursue the license I want. WIll have to see.

The problem is no has a definitive answer. everything seems to contradict everything!
According to the latest Visual standards for both Class 1 and 2 visuals LASIK requires less certification time than LASEK. Would that suggest that the process is deemed more reliable?
I realise my prescription is quite high but surely time tells?

The examiner didn't recommend LASEK, just LASIK. I have know idea which is safer. (They sell it to you by offering a lifetime's insurance of the surgery!)

I will approach a local AME before I decide to have a Medical though. Worst case scenario i'll just haev to make the most of my NPPL (Once I get it!)
