With the epiflap procedure we don't advise you to drive until you've had your first aftercare, which is normally between 5 and 10 days after treatment. This is due to your eyes being quite unstable for that time.
Epiflap does have a longer recovery time, but is a lot safer than Lasik. You're best off speaking with the doctor, who will be able to outline all the risks involved, and help you make a decision based on your eyes. Everyone is different.
