That's possibly radial keritography or some such spelling. The LASIK I 
had, they slice the front of your eye off, peel the flap back, burn away 
bits of the cornea underneath, and put the flap back down.

Yes, it was potentially the most uncomfortable 90 seconds of my life. 
Yes, you smell your eyeballs burning.
Yes, it's not unlike when the dentist is drilling, except it's your eyes.
Yes, it's probably the best thing I've done medically speaking.

My primary advice is two-fold:
1) It's your eyes. Don't go to the cheapest place. Go to the place where 
the doctor has actually invented improvements to the process.
2) Take all the vallium they'll give you. :-)
