You've got two replies reasonably arguing with the basis of your post, but it's important to keep in mind something more fundamental, even if we take your overall argument as given to start with:

>I wouldn't be surprised at all if actually those are from cheap doctors.

Even if this was completely true, the ease or difficulty of a medical treatment is a fundamental part of that treatment. If a treatment is simply incredibly hard for humans to perform effectively and carries risk of significant irreversible damage, that is a very different treatment in practice than one that is trivial and/or with minimal/temporary downsides even if it goes wrong. It's like with medicines themselves, where there is the concept of a "therapeutic index", the ratio between the minimum effective dose and a lethal dose. Some medicines have wide indexes, up to the point where it's essentially impossible to overdose (raw matter effects would hit first). These are fine to just have offered OTC for self-medication. Others, including very valuable ones, can have extremely narrow windows and thus require specialist prescription and ongoing monitoring/adjustment, up to and including only for use in a hospital.

Allowing "cheap" (inexperienced? unskilled? incorrect training?) practitioners to perform LASIK was itself a medical choice. Current training/licensing regimes are an inextricable part of the LASIK procedure, and if in practice there have been significant adverse results that should still be reviewed. It wouldn't have to mean banning the procedure entirely, but if it's a lot more dangerous than originally assessed the how|who|where of its performance might need refinement. "Caveat emptor lol" isn't how a good medical system is run.
