It's a longer recovery in the beginning, but well worth it in the end. I am 5 mths out and couldn't be happier.
Is there any evidence/research to back this up?

I have heard that to dislodge the flap after the first few days after treatment requires significant trauma to the eye.

Are you speaking of other complications?
