Laser eye surgery and BJJ/MMA

Hey everyone,
I will be getting laser eye surgery in a few months, but I'm having trouble deciding which type of surgery to bet because of BJJ/MMA. I think with grappling and boxing, there is a greater chance of the cornea flap becoming displaced, but its cheaper and the recovery time from surgery is a lot faster then PRK/LASEK. I might just be a little paranoid. Have any of you guys training in BJJ or MMA had laser eye surgery? Which type did you go with? Thanks!

Whichever one will help keep your eye from being damaged when your boyfriend cums in it is your best bet, IMO.

Fuck off.

I'm getting zyoptix LASIK in a month or so, and the doctor explicitly told me not to get this if I had plans of competing in combat sports (I.E that would involve blows to the head), although I can't remember why. He reccomended the other procedure (PRK, I think) If had plans of competing in combat sports, but he also said that the recovery time for this process was very long, which is why I didn't choose it.

with zyoptix you can go back to work in a day or too. Anyways I started a thread in mayberry about this that got alot of good posts in it, so maybe you could search for that one.

I've had Lasik and have had no problems rolling. Of course I don't get punched in the eye either. Well at least they tell me that it's not on purpose.
