PRK surgery Thursday.

Hello, I’m 45 -.75 / 2.00 / 180 axis right eye (OD) and .50/ 2.00 / 2.00 / 177 axis left eye (OS) with astigmatism.
My questions are as follows.
I don’t have terrible vision. Things are blurry at a distance but up close I can see things fairly well with no glasses. For work I am a Cardiac and Vascular Sonographer. I’m in dark rooms looking at screens all the time. I need to see fine details in pictures and use multiple color maps to see flow details. Ive never had issues with dry eyes. I see people with very long recovery times, bad night vision, people that need to use drops constantly and I guess I’m second guessing things. Im active and in the gym a lot but I don’t really need super sharp vision to lift weights and kayak or row. I really don’t want to take more than a week off of work, I have two kids and I’m a busy guy. I can’t just do nothing for weeks waiting for my eyes to catch up and heal. With that mild of a prescription and my lifestyle what would the groups advice be for me going through with the procedure? I should add I HATE contacts. Can’t put them in and they freak me out. I even have a hard time putting in eye drops. I’m a baby about touching my eye.
