I heard it never heals 100% but that after a few years any damage that would dislodge it would probably have damaged your eye anyway. If you want to be a MMA fighter or figher pilot etc they recommend you go with PRK. That said I'm curious to hear a more official answer on this too! I got LASIK done a few years ago myself and the flap and risk was actually the part that scared me the most.

I am the same way with eyes, but I got so fed up with glasses I just bit the bullet and got it done. It's unpleasant, but it's not that bad because it's so fast. The worse part is the eye drops you have to do 3 times a day for a few weeks. It took me longer to apply the eye drops than it took for the doctor to perform the actual surgery.

I got it done, and basically you need to keep staring at a flashing light. If you move your eye while the laser is in progress it can correct faster than you can move. The critical point is when the doctor lifts the flap away as it's a somewhat delicate/manual process. He will tell you ahead of time everything he's doing. If I recall there was also some kind of suction cup holding the eye ball in place so don't think you can move it too much anyway.

I find that when I fly, if I start to realize that "wow, I can fly!" then I start to lose it. Once flew on top of a building, I can still picture gravel on the roof, and gas lines going to HVAC units, and see fans from the AC units. Also big vents, because it was a restaurant. It was quite detailed. Then I realized "woah that's cool that I can fly". Then I forgot how to fly, and I was stuck on the building, trying to figure out how to get down. This is usually coupled with the realization that it's a dream and then I wake up.

It's hard to tell for sure, but I think when I take melatonin I tend to dream more.
