Laser Eye Surgery!

A friend of mine told me that she considered getting this procedure done, until she heard that if you've had this surgery, and someone hits you in the right spot on your eye, the eye will burst or explode, or something like that. This, she said, is because the surgery thins the eyes, and makes them easier to damage. She emphasised that they have to hit you in the EXACT right spot, which she thought might happen while playing sport. I really don't know if this is true; I hope it's not.

I also don't know if it's true but I would think not.....

Yeah, but you can get a detatched retna from sports/other hard hits even without the surgery.
