I CERTAINLY HOPE THIS IS A JOKE.

If it isn't it is possibly the funniest thing I have seen posted on this site to date.

I think lasik is just a brand type thing, like calling tissues "kleenex".

I have a friend who had laser eye surgery, he seems to like it, I don't know how much it costs but I think anywhere frome 500-1500 per eye.

I've thought about getting this myself, but I can't stomach the thought of going thru the procedure.

LASIK is an (almost) acronym. It means Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis. There are variations on the procedure with slightly different names, like LASEK or ELASEK/epi-LASEK.

If this is the funniest thing you've seen on this site your sense of humor is really bad.

Got it 3 years ago for $750/eye. It took about 6 months to completely stabilize(had a little "starburst" at night before that), but it is so worth it. The best is for trips where you don't have to lug around solution and contacts.

It's definitely worth it, although I've heard that there is a new procedure where they stick a permanent lens on top of your eyeball(less invasive) that is supposed to be better.
