There is no relationship between LASIK and the red vessels. What you are seeing is a clump of conjunctival tissue which has become vascularized. It does not appear to be a progressive growth.See your ophthalmologist.
You may be a candidate for PRK, but not LASIK. PRK is performed on top of the cornea without creating a flap and doesn't require the cornea to be as thick as it needs to be to perform LASIK. I would also recommend that you get a Pentacam to get an overall view of your cornea, front and back...
When bladeless LASIK is done well: I allow my patients to resume full physical activity the day after LASIK. If the surgery has gone well there is no reason to restrict physical activity. The only restriction is not to move the flap, which means not to rub your eyes for two weeks....
