And as a sidenote, I finally remembered to look up what LASER stands for:
Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
And there are conflicting answers for what LASIK stands for, but all are full of Latin!
LASIK is an abbreviated term for "LASer In situ
Keratomileusis".
Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis.
I could swear I saw one where the K stood for Keratotomy too, but that doesn't make must sense.
