Hello
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error.
Epi LASIK is a modification of LASIK done for people who are having decreased corneal thickness and because of which LASIK cannot be done.
Epi LASIK provides correction equal to LASIK hence it provides improvement similar to LASIK.
Thank you
