After lasik/lasek eye surgery do you need to avoid using regular lasers?

No: No you can still use laser instrumentation etc. As always, you should use proper eye protection when using a laser whether you have had laser eye surgery or not.

Laser precautions : No there's no special precautions necessary. Lasek is safer than lasik because there's no flap so if you poke your eye the flap can't come back up or be torn off.
