I religiously wear eye protection. Sticks can make their way around glasses / goggles. The flap created during lasik doesn't need an object in the eye to dislodge though, a blow to the head will do it in the right circumstance. Lasik makes your eyes more vulnerable to damage, PRK does not. This is why police/military/sports require PRK for corrective surgery, rather than lasik.
