Here’s a quote from the article:

Epi-LASIK is similar to the more common procedure, but it uses a different type of blade to peel back the cornea, and it cuts a thinner layer.

Before the surgery, a wavefront laser, which is different from the laser used to reshape the cornea, can measure each eye so that the LASIK procedure is customized. The technology can help reduce the glare or halos that some patients see at night after LASIK.

Epi-Lasik sounds like it might address one of the big side-effects that I’ve been concerned about with this surgery: night vision problems.
