I had Lasik surgery done in Canada in November 2003.  I wish I had saved the money.  I started out thinking it would cost $390.00 per eye as was advertised.  After I was checked into hotel in the area, prepped for the procedure and been there for hours, I was told I was only a candidate for the more expensive Zyoptic procedure.  I went for it as I was already prepared and it left me with dry eyes which after a million bottles of expensive eye drops, did not help.  Now my vision is worse because of the dry eyes, my used to be great night vision is gone forever, and I am now back in glasses again!  They wanted to redo the procedure where I had it done originally (which was part of the $4000.00 I paid) but went to a local doctor and was told not to, as it may further the problem with the dry eyes.  Perhaps they have gotten better at it over the years but I know alot of other people who have had trouble too.
