What is lasik surgery? is it the same as laser eye ...

Yes it is the same, but there are different methods in use now. 
 
Here is the link to a website published by the U.S Food and Drug Administration.
http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/lasik/
It will describe to you what lasik surgery is, when is lasik not for you, what are the risks, what you should expect, it includes a lasik checklist, glossary and answers to many frequently asked questions.
 
You will find out that lasik is not for everyone but check the site out and see if it right for you.
 
Good luck and best wishes.

I asked a similar question about what lasik eye surgery is, and its benefits which you can see

Not sure… you should contact a doctor for the best advice! But there is a really good San Diego Lasik website that has lots of info and some very informative Lasik articles. See the links below:

If you are thinking about having Lasik eye surgery, read this article just issued by the FDA. They sent a letter to doctors requesting that they tell patients about risks associated with Lasik eye surgery after receiving numerous complaints from consumers who experienced double and fuzzy vision and painful dry eyes after getting the procedure.
