What they do is give you a mild sedative to relax you, then they put drops in your eyes to numb them. They strap your head down and have a device that holds your eyes open...a nicer version of A Clockwork Orange...so you don't have to hold still.

If you can wear a contact lens, you can make it through laser surgery. I'm sure they can give you more meds to relax you if needed, since you can't drive yourself home after anyway.
