  3. Do it Yourself Lasik Surgery

    And feeling the need to protect those who may be in looking to save money so they can buy their next rep, I post the following...

    LASIK (Laser in Situ Keratomileusis)

    LASIK surgery is a technique for correcting certain types of refractive problems with the eye (e.g., myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism) through the precise and controlled removal of corneal tissue by a special laser that reshapes the cornea. In the U.S., only ophthalmologists (i.e., physicians who specialize in the medical and surgical care of the eyes) are allowed to perform LASIK surgery, and all such procedures must use lasers that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    Any vendor, therefore, offering LASIK devices for patients to use on themselves to perform at-home eye surgery would be both dangerous and acting illegally. Fortunately, the LASIK@Home web site referenced above is merely a hoax, not a serious attempt to market such devices. (Among the many clues to the site's invalidity are a lack of a phone number, a physical or mailing address, and a functioning mechanism for ordering the product supposedly being advertised).

    Great spoof site, boy did we have a laugh at work over it today!

    Im at a loss for words here. There are several professional ophthalmic organizations that I am a member of that I don't think have seen this one yet... Talk about flying under the radar. I'll have to read up on this one. Some people can't take a wart of their finger, they don't need a laser to use on their eyes... :thumbdown:

    Hello Everyone,

    Sorry for the mini-thread-jacking... Please explain the importance of a genuine rotor in a rep with a solid caseback. Are you planning on carrying a caseback remover with you if anyone calls you out? I'm not poking fun at you, I just want to know :huh:
