Answer:
Your Facts: Prescription of +9.75 and 19 years of age. If the prescription is correct, you are a very high hyperope. None of the current lasers have been approved to treat this high level of hyperopia. Attempting to treat such high hyperopia with any laser technique (LASIK or LASEK) will almost surely cause severe unacceptable complications.Difference between LASIK and LASEK:
LASIK is lamellar laser refractive surgery in which the excimer laser ablation is done under a partial-thickness lamellar corneal flap.
In LASEK procedure the excimer laser is used to ablate the most anterior portion of the corneal stroma. LASEK does not require a partial thickness cut into the stroma.

you don't say how old you are
If you are 50+ you may want to just wait till you have cataracts and they will correct your vision then
well now that you are 19 you can make decisions for yourself. If money is no problem fly to the East Coast(New Jersey/New York) and get it done here. Best of the Best eye docs are on this side of the apple. i would do lasik. its pain free and they do it within 20 minutes.beats having cataracts later on in life.
