AST - Advanced Surface Treatment is somewhere in between Lasik and PRK treatments. They mechanically lift a thin epithelial flap and discard it. A 'bandage lens' is placed over the freshly lasered eye ball to protect the eye from blinking and is removed 3-5 days later. So it is supposed to be better than lasik in that there is no risk of 'flap' complications, less risk of 'dry-eye' and superior long term vision and contrast.
Plus the cost qualifies as medical expenses for income tax and is exempt from GST. $3000 and I will have perfect eye sight in less than 1 month from now.
