Remember a few days back when I highlighted the do-it-yourself LASIK@HOME kit - a sub-$100 tool kit that would allow you to perform LASIK surgery on yourself, right in the comfort of your home?

Then, I asserted that the DIY kit could only be either a hoax or a joke, but it seems other sites (like EndScore) have done more research - only to find that none of the “facts” provided can actually be found in real life.

So, it’s now pretty clear that LASIK@HOME is nothing but a fake piece of crap, and a dangerous one to boot. But possibly the most interesting thing I’ve heard regarding this hoax so far is a comment by the EndScore editor:

The “Four Easy Steps” illustration provided on LASIK@Home’s website speaks volumes. Apparently drawn by someone with an aptitude for art equivalent to a pig’s ability to fly, it certainly does elicit a chuckle as well as a sad shake of the head for the ignorant individuals who will be duped into purchasing the product (assuming it really exists).
