SOS: LASIK Anyone?

Post by absoluteme »

Heya Guys, im just a new-fangled here my name is Dave from California. I would like to ask about Lasik surgery? Are you familiar with that? I suffered almost 18 years for my Astigmatism and I want to put my thick oldie glass in the box (for sure) it’s a killer to me for almost half of my life. It made me appear like a granny; I love sports but can’t do it especially extreme sports due to my eye condition. I read some article about Lasik and I want to get some opinion especially for those people who experienced it already. How’s the procedure and the effects? Im planning to fly to Kansas for a Lasik exam in my2020 in a couple of months from now and im a little nervous for it, hope you can help me ease my tension by sharing your experience. Lots of thanks.

Lasik surgery is laser eye correction. They use a laser to fix eye problems such as Astigmatism.

Forget LASIK and just get yourself some cybernetic eye impants.

I can give you some pretty cheap Lasik. Come over to my house and i'll have my assistant, tiny, hold you down while i shine a bright laser randomly into your eye until you can see better. It has about a .1% success rate, but it's only $10! :P

I can perform that surgery with the remote for the projector. You may see shades of red after but its normal.

If you see shades of red with mine, that's just my assistant cutting open your skull to try and poke around at your brain to find the eye part of it.

Everbody is just being mean to this person who comes on the forum to ask a legitimate question. If you don't have an answer, just don't say anything. But wait, that would be mean as well, since the person might think we are just ignoring them. I know, we will thank them for the question and then tell them how sorry we are that we don't have . . . wait a minute, that's not any fun. Oh, never mind. Hand me that laser, I want to take a turn. I only charge 5 dollars.

Does the post not smack of spam? (It originally contained two links to the same Web site, but someone edited them out – without documenting it.)

Yeah, I removed the links. I didn't really read the post, and it did seem like a semi-legitimate question (though why he'd ask here I don't know). Reading it again though, it does seem pretty obvious he's a spammer, that and the fact he hasn't come back.
