Question Difference in opinions

I recently went to two seperate Lasik centers. My first exam was conducted, and I was told that my corneas were too thin and therefore I was not a good candidate for Lasik. The doctor advised me that I was a better candidate for PRK.

Three days later I went to another exam from a seperate Lasik center and was told that I was a good candidate for Lasik. I brought up the fact that I had already been told by another doctor that my corneas were too thin. When asked why there was a difference, the doctor assured me that I was a good candidate and that the other doctor must have just not been as comfortable conducting the surgery.

How should I feel about this and what questions should I ask in order to get a better idea of what is best for me? I'm not opposed to PRK, although for obvious reasons, I would prefer to do Lasik.
