Does LASIK flap ever heal?

this is why years after LASIK you can get poked in the eye and the flap can come back upevery LASIK surgeon who has seen over 10,000 cases has seen at least one flap ripped off by trauma:)if you play contact sports and are concerned about this then just get LASEK, the recovery is 1-2 days longer but the eye is 100x stronger after bc there is no flap, no cut, no chance of your flap getting poked up or torn off after!

For all practical purposes, the Lasik flap is healed after three months. After three months, there is very little to worry about moving the flap, except in cases of rather severe direct impact to that part of the eye. However, it is still possible, even years later,  for a doctor to identify where the previous flap was made and healing up and to separate the layers. This is done when we are performing a touchup, and so it is very useful.
