Previously, some doctors used a metal blade to cut the corneal flap. In many cases, they now use a laser to make the incision. Without more information about the technology, I couldn't say. My recommendation would be to talk with your doctor about the pros / cons of each option, and if necessary, get a second opinion from another doctor. I wouldn't let cost dictate your decision at all - these are your eyes you're talking about - and $1000 is not a big difference in cost. It depends on what the “newest technology” is.
