Hello
It seems from the history that you are having myopia of -1 sphere and -1 cylinder and you want to undergo LASIK surgery.
I-LASIK means intralse lasik and is one of the recent advances in laser surgery. Lasik the traditional one though was very successful was associated with blade or keratome related complications. The recent I-LASIK has made the surgery very safe by eliminating the risks because of blade or keratome.
Hence I-LASIK is better and more safer surgery than LASIK.

Thank you
