DIY LASIK

It gives new meaning to the phrase- just point and shoot. Do it yourself LASIK eye surgery is possible, whether or not it is advisable, is another question entirely. You send in your prescription, presumably so the laser can be properly programed, and $99.95 (+ tax of course). Perfectly safe I'm sure. Oh, and yes, they also sell shirts and mugs touting their procedure.

definitely news that sounds like a joke. i know this isn't brand new, but its the first time i realized it wasn't a joke and googled the site. who would really do this?

This has to be a joke. Even the testimonials sound fake. Now, what I'd like to see on that site is a link to the lawyers who are willing to sue the manufacturer when you go blind from following their simple, 4 step procedure (don't blink!). Some things were not meant to be done cheaply, at home!

Not that I wear skirts but it seems to me that someone is attempting to blow smoke up it anyhow.

BTW, that centrally located fix-er-upper here in Athens is still up for grabs! Roof leaks a bit but, hay! the view is to die for.
