They NEVER remove the lens in LASIK. The laser basically removes a tiny portion of the tissue on the lens, basically changing the focus so the image on your retina is sharp. The only procedure where they actually remove the lens is in cataract surgery where the lens is clouded and they replace it with a synthetic (plastic) one.
However... I agree with Basschick... personally, even though I know there are few, rare complications, I can't imagine allowing someone to cut into my healthy eyes, just too big a risk of something going wrong.
