Don't believe me all you want I had Lasek

LASEK has a longer recovery time and is a slightly more uncomfortable procedure, LASIK is the quicker option for people who do not play contact sports
since a flap is created on the cornea rather than on the surface like LASEK that could cause complications if hit Doctor's advice I didn't make this shyt up. And I got jumped last year hit in the eye and nothing happened to my eye.

I've had PRK. I know all about the procedures. From your own link.

"In a study of 3,009 consecutive LASIK surgeries performed August 2002 through July 2009 using a femtosecond laser for flap creation, flap complications occurred in fewer than one-half of 1 percent (0.37 percent) of these procedures, and all complications were successfully managed within the same surgical session."

The flap coming loose is not an issue once the eye is healed and will not come loose if you are hit in the face. PRK and the like are for people who are not suitibale for Lasik b/c or cornea issues such as a thin cornea.

Plus Lasek still envolves a flap. Again from your own link:

"The LASEK procedure involves a little of both LASIK and PRK. Like in PRK, the corneal epithelium is separated from the underlying stromal layer. But instead of completely removing and discarding the epithelial tissue, the LASEK surgeon pushes the ultra-thin epithelial "flap" to the side (it remains attached to the eye on one side, like the thicker corneal flap made in LASIK), exposing the corneal stroma for laser reshaping"

the reason I backed away from getting lasik is 1. I have dry eyes, I dont think I could have it done 2. even if I had it done I would hate to wear sunglasses everytime I go outside like you're supposed to (right?) 3. anything could go wrong, I cant live blind, unless its gods will.

No, you only wear sun glasses for the first two days or so after the operation

interesting, I thought it was whenever you're in direct sunlight you wear shades to protect your sugery. idk some cac at the office does that whenever we out, and he says its cuz his lasik lol. You regularly have to put some drops in your eyes too? I've seen a guy do that a lot, i aint tryint to do that, so im curious whats the deal.
