Went for my eye check up at optimax 2 months ago and they said to me that my cornea is a bit too thin meaning i can only do the lasik once but they will not give me a lifetime garranty as i dont have enuf corneal thickness to do a second touch up in case my power comes back...so decided to try my luck with vista at the curve on wednesday and after a through eye examination vista agreed to do the lasik for me and even said i can do the surgery again if in case my power does come back...as my power is only 250 each eye they said to me chances of the power returning in my case is only 5%..even if it does return it will only come up to about 50-75 which will not require u to wear glasses anymore...the surgery they recommended was the iLasik 2 which is rm10k for both eyes[COLOR=red]..JJ from hitz fm and sarah from another radio station which i cant recall also did the same procedure...it seems nasa use the procedure for their astronauts and also the us military for their pilots etc...i could even do the rm7k one but tissue damage saved will be only 20% where as the iLasik 2 is 35% and potential HD vision compared to just normal vision with the other one..so scheduled my surgery the next day itself since dr.aloysius will only be next free after CNY hols so i did not want to waste time anymore....came next day for surgery was a bit nervous but the doctor was really good in calming me down and after about 25min the operation was over...dr.aloysius said the opration went very well...he asked me the time on the clock and i told him it was 230....i was overjoyed...went back home and slept and applied the eyedrops...came next day for the post surgery check up and doctor said i have super vision...my eyesight was 6.0/4.8 which is better than a normal person's eyesight....i am writing this post just 2 days after my surgery mind you...overall couldnt be happier with outcome and thanking dr.aloysius for changing my life...i am not here to promote vista but they gave me a good offer which i accepted and judging from that it has been wonderful so far...if u guys want to know anything bout lasik and the procedures etc etc feel free to pm me and i will get back to you....

hi jialat, if I gave the letter to Optimax JB then I relocate to KL, can I have the lasik surgery in KL instead? would the discount still apply?

Thanks!

Hey jialat, I've gotten the letter from you. First of all, thanks for the help.

However, today I made a phone call to TTDI Optimax to check on pricing and asked them bout the discount if I have the referral letter. Then the staff told me the discount is no longer available for quite some time. Can you or anyone help confirm this?

Thank you

The staff must be joking! the optimax manager just visited me in clinic yesterday and ask me to continue refer patients to them, and reassure me that all referrals get Rm 500 discount.

Please give me the staff name and I will make sure he/she get a warning letter from optimax management.

Hey bro, problem solved. Thanks anyway.

Btw, yes the RM500 discount still applicable.

Before the Surgery
Both my eyes had 700+ power with a bit of astigmatism. I could hardly read anything without glasses that wasn't at least 10 cm near my face.

Getting to the Surgery
I did my Lasik operation last Monday at the Curve. Vista was nice enough to provide a shuttle service from their Bangsar Office to the Curve. I went with another patient, an Indian guy.

Payment
Please note that you have to settle the full amount of the surgery before you can proceed. I didn't realize this because a Vista staff told me I could pay in instalments earlier. Actually what she meant was you had to swipe the full amount from your credit card then pay the bank. So if you do not have enough credit in your credit card (which I didn't), you can't swipe and continue for the operation. Luckily I managed to transfer half the amount by direct deposit using CIMBClicks, then swiped the rest via credit card.

The Indian patient went for the surgery first. Meanwhile they prepared me by making me wash my face using Johnson n Johnson baby wash, then dressed me up in those operating theatre gowns. They also gave me a locker to put my bag and glasses.

Flap Creation
First they dropped some anaesthetic eyedrops then proceeded to put the suction cup in my right eye. I kind of panicked and they had try 3 times for my right eye before it worked. I also asked for more anaesthetic eyedrops. However there was no problem with performing the suction on my left eye. After that they used the laser to create the flaps. I had to stare into some light, which was kind of difficult because the light glare is very big and I wasn't sure where to focus.

Cornea Shaping
They moved me to another table where I laid down for the laser to do its cornea shaping. This part was completely painless, but I really wasn't sure where to actually focus on the light above. I just tried not to move my eyes as much as possible.

Immediately After
They asked me to read the time of the clock, but I couldn't I could barely make out the lines the clock. I guessed the time correctly but to be honest I was kind disappointed and scared because I read from other people's experiences they could read the clock immediately. The doctor said not to be afraid since my power was reduced from pretty high (700+ on both eyes) and it'll take some time to adjust.

The First 4 Hours
My eyes started tearing and I couldn't look at bright lights. Vista had a driver send me back to my house and I could barely open my eyes. When I did, I could barely see anything. Everything was so blurry. When I reached home, I immediately put some eyedrops and the eyeshields and slept.

The Next 4 Hours
After waking up, I was happy that my vision improved. Everything was still quite blurry and I had a hard time reading anything but I could confirm that I could at least read words and text from an arm's width away. I went out for dinner by myself.

The 1st Day After Operation
When I woke up on the morning after the operation, my left eye's vision had improved a lot. But my right eye vision was still blurry. I went to Vista @ Bangsar for post-operation checkup and my left eye could read the chart they gave me clearly. My right eye had double-vision and everything was still blur and could only read the first row clearly.

4 Days Later
Very happy with my left eye vision. I would rate my satisfaction with it as 9/10. It's also not red at all, unlike my right eye. Sadly my right eye is very red due to the suction, and vision isn't as good. I would rate my satisfaction with it as 7/10. Overall both my eyes have improved vision, I can use the computer with little trouble. I managed to play Team Fortress for a few hours last night too. In fact near-to-middle vision I can see almost everything clearly and pretty sharp. But when it comes to distance vision, I have to focus a while because only my left eye can make out the details. Anyway I hope my right eye improves.
