Laser eye surgery is a broader term that ecompasses many types of laser eye surgery. LASIK is a particular type of laser eye surgery. In LASIK, a flap is cut (using a razor blade) into the cornea and the flap is folded back. Then a laser oblates awway corneal tissue from the exposed corneal surface. The flap is folded back down and the procedure is done. So that is what LASIK refers to, and LASIK is a type of laser eye surgery. But there are other types of laser eye surgery, such as PRK and LASEK. They are all roughly similar to LASIK, but with slight variations in what exactly is done to expose the corneal tissue for laser oblation. Usually, the laser apparatus that is used is identical for LASIK, LASEK, and PRK, the only difference is what is done before and after the lasering. Of those three types of laser eye surgery, they all can correct myopia as long as it is not too severe. The doctor (or you) may prefer one over the other for your specific case based on things like your lifestyle (active or not) and your corneal thickness. There may also be other specialized forms of laser eye surgery that I have not listed, but for myopia, those are the three to look into. Your best option is to go talk to a doctor and they can suggest what is best for your specific case. And do a lot of internet research so you are comfortable with your choice.

No, it should not do that at all. Maybe they are too dark for you. Call your eye doctor and see what they think.

There might be a reason I am not thinking about, and then again….I am not a doctor.
