I am glad you covered this!
You should cover more on PRK. From my research PRK surgery is a better choice but takes a longer time to heal. The problem with both LASEK and LASIK is that they both require a thin cut of a flap that is later put back in place.
Having this FLAP is very dangerous especially athletic individuals who commonly get their eyes exposed to some kind of trauma to it. The FLAP at times can come off during eye contact even with the eyes closed.
