Lasik plus (+) is a marketing concept or name that a corporate entity (LCA Vision or trade name LCAV) uses to give the impression that one is getting something extra at their centers.  It has nothing to do with the laser treatment itself.  Most of the care is from employees of the company and the surgery is performed by a doctor under contract.

Wave front or custom LASIK is a reference to a type of laser vision correction which treats or is optimized for a better result potentially than plain LASIK with older technology.  The benefits of this type of treatment are real and vary in importance to each individual patient.
