Why Are There Different Kinds of LASIK?

When conventional LASIK was first developed in the 1990's, it was capable of delivering good enough vision for most people to pass a driver's exam without corrective lenses (20/40). Many of these people were fortunate enough to get an exceptional result of 20/20, but the baseline expectation was 20/40. Technological advances in wavefront guided LASIK and femtosecond laser flap creation have raised the bar so that 20/20 is now the baseline expectation and 20/16 or better is the goal.
