My elderly relative had cataract surgery on one eye at a well known clinic in Klang. I think he had some minor complications post surgery and needed more than the average follow up appointments. I think he switched to ISEC Mid Valley for his follow up treatments instead of continuing them in Klang.

Then he chose to have another cataract surgery for the other eye in University Hosp. He felt that it was more painful than the first cataract surgery and overheard other post-op patients leaving the clinic also groaning in pain. The complications was more serious this time and the follow up treatments did not help. At one time he had to take up to 5 different medications which had side effects and were expensive. I think they were for follow up + glaucoma. I don't know when exactly he was told that he also had glaucoma but it is one complication from having cataract surgery. He said his doctor 'gave up' and referred him to a colleague (a Malay woman doctor). His final doctor performed glaucoma surgery which was alot more successful. After some time with follow ups he could quit the medications and his eyes are fine but he sometimes needs to wear sunglasses outdoors.

One of his gripes was that his doctors at ISEC, Klang clinic, University Hosp did not know how to perform glaucoma surgery but did not refer him to someone qualified and continued money wasting follow up visits.
