Is this an April Fool's joke?



OK, I'm not sure if this is an April Fool's joke or not. It might not be, but if it isn't, I'm still not sure the world is ready for Lasik @ Home, the world's first DIY LASIK appliance. Even if I thought I'd be qualified to do this myself, the diagram showing you how to do the thing looks terrifying: you really just grab the thing and aim it at your eye without any sort of support?

My hands shake when I've trying to take pictures with a digital camera; imagine how much they'd be shaking if I thought I was shooting lasers into my own eyeball!

Maybe one day this will be routine, and oh happy day when that arrives. I wonder if it will be by the time the kids need their procedures?
