Here's an account I'd like to work on. DIY eye surgery (for the less fortunate): Affordable In-Home LASIK Surgery You Can Do Yourself! In the past, LASIK surgery was an expensive procedure that could only be performed by skilled professionals in a doctor's office or eye clinic. Often costing upwards of $1000 per eye, LASIK was beyond the reach of most Americans. Now the revolutionary LASIK@Home system makes clear …
GSD+M GSD&M Launches Its Own Awards Show
