I've noticed alot of people discussing PRK vs. Lasik. From my reading, PRK is the alternative if you don't have thick enough corneas.

All things being equal, if I had a choice between the two, is one "better" than the other? I know the two procedures only differ in cutting/not cutting the flap and recovery time, but does one method provide a better result than the other?

I have no issues with the flap being cut, but if it's a one time thing I'd rather put up a bit more cash and get the "better" process done, if i have a choice.

Let me rephrase the question:

Other than flap vs no flap, and PRK having a longer recovery time, are there any differences besides cost?

Edit: VV Awesome. I could never tell if there were any outcome differences. I've got a consultation coming up and hopefully I can get my eyes sliced open soon.
