Best Answer

Lasek and Lasik corrective eye surgeries have a few differences. Healing time in Lasik surgery is approximately 2 - 7 days and one is able to drive within a week. Lasek surgery can take a few days longer to heal, and one is unable to drive for a few weeks.

What is the difference between Lasik and Lasikplus?

LASIK is a surgical procedure to correct vision. It is an acronym which stands for Laser Assisted Stromal In-situ Keratomileusis. This is what is actually done in a LASIK procedure. LASIKplus is a branding or marketing name given to a corporate group of centers which have as their main business purpose to perform LASIK surgery. There is no real plus or anything different that these centers are able to do than any other LASIK provider. The real company behind LASIKplus (or LASIK+) is LCA-Vision which trades under the stock ticker LCAV. Perhaps they believed that the name LCAV was not appealing enough to the public, so they opened centers with the LASIKplus moniker.All LASIK involves two steps, first to make a flap and then to use a laser to reshape the cornea. The most advanced treatment option is to also use a laser of a different type to make the flap. Many centers have these capabilities. It is best for patients to seek a doctor, not a corporate entity whom they trust with their eyes and their vision. This trust should be based on that doctor's own reputation and experience. Many corporate centers hide behind the corporate name, with multiple doctors available to perform procedures. These centers quote statistics based on the overall performance of all of their doctors, but what is most important is the care given to an individual patient by their own doctor.
