Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

It is called lasik because they use a laser to do the surgery.
No, there is not a needle involved. They numb the eye with antisthetic drops, so you don't feel anything. They use a ring with a microtome attached to do the cutting. The whole procedure takes about 30-45 minutes to do. You leave with a patch over the eye, because the flap doesn't get sutured as a rule, and will heal itself in a few days time. You can look up the explainations for the surgery yourself at

That will give you a fair explaination of the whole procedure.
