Hi! I want to bring my mum to Putrajaya hospital for her cataract removal.

Can we use the referral letter from the Mediviron clinic to get an appointment to see the eyes specialist?

Normally it takes how long from seeing doc up to the day of surgery? I want to get prepared and apply leave to fetch her to and back from hospital.

If you were to go to a private eye specialist, it could be done in a week or two.

Costs is between 4-5k.

Dear all,

Going to do a cataract surgery @ vista.. but before i confirm and make appt , would like to check with all member here if anyone will have special advice..

1) anyone can provide price comparison for vista, optimax etc?
2) anyone can provide advice which is the best lens to fix? i heard trifocal lens is quite unstable for now as they are still very new technology..
3) anything to take note before the surgery?

Thank you

Can share what is the price or package you did in Vista?

I am in the same situation and currently doing research. No insurance so have to really look around. I hope anyone who has gone for the Cataract Removal Surgery in Kuala Lumpur / Selangor with private specialist can provide me some information.

1) What is the recommended hospital or hospital you used for this surgery?

2) How much did the surgery cost per eye?

So far I found Optimax and Vista to be pricey at abt RM6-7k per eye (bladeless) and not allowed to choose a preferred surgeon unless you opt for a premium priced package. ISEC itself got bad reviews here and in a 2nd thread.

Now because of covid alot doing promotion can get as low as 2.7-2.8k per eye. some need to do covid screening before surgery, some will just follow internal S.O.P, better add in those extra cost for calculation. But i think now is it is very comment surgery . Any differnt with phaco or Femto lazer assisted ?

femto phaco is faster and much lesser complication than normal phaco, but costly, if u have medical insurance then its covered by insurance. femto phaco is available in ara damansara medical centre.

Hi Jialat,
I had my right eye cataract surgery 6 weeks ago. Implanted PanOptix Multifocal Lens. But Im having hard time seeing near and intermediate as the words are always “glowing” and I cant even read fine print...Im seeing double/glowing/shadow.

Background:
1. My Optician asked me to consult an eye doctor as she is having hard time giving me the right prescription as Im not seeing things as clear as my left and every 3 months my power increases (Since beginning 2020)
2. Went to eye specialist and they told me both eye had cataract.
3. My IOL reading was done by a person sitting at a receptionist counter (Guess the PIC went for lunch?) and set appt for surgery 1 week later.
4. Submitted pre approval for GL request.
5. Went for second opinion. They confirmed I do have cataract and dry eyes.
6. On the day of surgery I wasn’t well, body aching (Neck and shoulder), but the doctor proceeded with surgery. (No sedation given, and I was having panic and anxiety till the end)
7. One month post ops: Results Distance +1.00, Astig +1.25, Add power +1.00 (Before Distance -5.25, Astig -0.25)

My question:
1. Did they implanted wrong IOL power?

2. Panoptix lens is not suitable for me? I can’t see properly..I cant work on my computer using my operated eye.

3. Lasik will help fixing my current issue?

4. Do you have any recommendations where to go for my left eye cataract?

hi, i afraid nothing much surgically can be done for your right eye, many suffer from multifocal IOL implant too and the remaining eye they will go for a good monofocal IOL implant to at least keep the distance vision clear and be able to walk and drive safe with one eye. most of them experience the same glaring and blur near vision like you do. Lasik can't help them too/

please private message me so I can refer you to another eye specialist for his opinion on the right eye problem and to do your left cataract surgery.

All the best and take care.

Hi All,

I recently went to ISEC for eye checkup and doctor said I have very mild cataract and I can choose to do cataract surgery with multifocal lens (panoptix). She said I don't need to wear any glasses after that.

I am just asking if anyone has done multifocal lens after cataract and are you satisfied with it? Any unwanted / unbearable side effects? Side effects such as dry eyes, glares/halos during driving at night, or sudden shadow/brightness seen on the periphery?

I am currently 45, have 900 myopia, 200 astigmatism and 150 presbyopia. Not sure if I should do the surgery now and replace my natural lens with multifocal, or wait until the cataract is really affecting my vision?

Regards,
Lim
