Lasik At Home, Do-It-Yourself Laser Eye Surgery

[angelophile]

The strangest thing is that this guy doesn’t look like he’s joking at all. He’s for real! He’s actually, really selling an as yet FDA-unapproved do-it-yourself Lasik At Home kit. As in, laser eye surgery, at home.

By yourself.

Yeah, it’s crazy, no? So, for about $100, you can buy this kit that includes the Scal-Pal™ (as in, the Scalpel, your pal?), go home, and in four easy steps (Oh, the humanity!), cut a flap of your cornea, and reshape your lens in the comfort of your own bedroom.



The kit comes with

* Scal-Pal™ Hand-Operated Combination Femtosecond/Excimer Laser
* Mild sedative (diazepam 4mg)
* No-Blink™ brand Eye Drops
* Detailed Instructions and QuickStart Guide
* Protective Post-Op Sleep Mask
The site includes all of three (positive) customer testimonials, a surefire way to induce trust.

And of course, the whole thing could just be some elaborate hoax. You decide.

I swear I thought this was a joke but it seems serious. The domain is owned by a private registrar, which suggests non-joke to me.

... I can't believe someone made an instructional diagram of a guy shootinghimself in the eye with a laser.

Well, as newnumber6 pointed out, the order form doesn't actually work. The T-shirt and merchandise page does, which suggests it's a joke.
