Do-It-Yourself Lasik

In general, I'm in favor of people being more involved in their healthcare. Do-it-yourself surgery, not so much.

Via Beautiful Atrocities. Includes this great comment from Ultron:

"We encourage you to donate your old eyeglasses to your local school, Lions Club, or other charity."

That makes sense. I'm pretty sure anyone who tried this would never have any use for eyeglasses again.

You're right, and they're subtle enough I didn't even notice them.

Checking around a little, it's not a FDA approved device [I didn't think it was, but you never know...]

FDA's list of approved lasers:
