did we need to ask the doctor either we can do the surgery or not?
or did it will make us blind instead to brighten up our view

what are u talking about?
for sure?
In medicine & surgery, we rarely "sure" of anything.
At most, we can say "high probability"

The doctor did told me there is risk of dry eyes.
Most people who want to do lasik will know about the possible dry eyes.

I understand that u are selling contact lenses & will lose customers if they went for lasik

yes. go for a checkup.
blind? RARELY if we develop infection.
all instruments are sterile & disposable.
Infections may still occur but less than 1% chance.

The technology is so good already that blindness didn't even cross my mind.
Anyone asking for 0% for sure no possible complication, surgery is not for u. U simply are not ready for it & will only makes doctors life miserable if something happens. Find a bomoh instead

well, according to what i learn and have seen in clinic all this time show almost all have dry eye when turn 50, dry eye is part of aging process.

i still get returning customers from post lasik for contact lens due to residual refractive error that enhancement failed to remove. i supply to some lasik centers too, some procedures need bandage lens after surgery, look ard in the treatment room u will find purevision lens. i gain many customers from lasik centers, friends work in there

i recommend my contact lens customers for lasik coz i gain commission, much better profit than selling cheap lens.

now that's a better term
regarding the refractive errors, what range of age do u usually get. They develop presbyopia? or recurrent myopia?

LOL at the commission.
Yeah some centers give quite a lot of commission for referral. eg. Optimax
Anyone wanna partner with me opening MLM lasik center?

u meant residual refractive error, no specific age, i think its very much depend on optom and ophthalmologist skills who check the refractive error b4 op, and also the patient's corneal thickness.

vista also giving very good commission for referral.

waa.. i realy want to get rid of spec but right now doesnt have enough gut to do LASIK..

if ur refractive error not very high, then just stick to glasses lor, spectacle help u to block wind and dust

true but another reason i went for lasik is I want to wear an Oakley.
Their prescription lenses are very expensive.
Now that I don't need prescription glasses anymore, I can afford an Oilrig.
Bought 1 from USA & very satisfied
The lens cover my whole view. Almost can't see the frame. Almost complete UV, wind & dust protection while riding

is it painful to do lasik?
afraid to do if painful

I heard that laser treatment has a minimal chances of failing which results the patient to be blinded. Is that true?

its not painful but the surgery is quite uncomfortable especially if you're not prepared for it.


uh the chance of that happening is probably 1 in 1 million.

there will be analgesia. but the dr will pull our eyelid also right?

i don't know any think about LASIK, but all the while i got eve problem
can recommend some doctor for you:

1 - Sukri and Hadeep Singh - old doctor very experience, alot people visit him and he charge very reasonable price. (it is a nightmare for waiting at least 2 hour. highest record i waited is about 6 hours)

2- international eye specialist (ISEC)AT mid valley
TEL: 2284 8989

Look for Dr. Micheal Law (Cornea specialist)
or you call reception for advise- there have many doctor in this clinic, but have to prepare to pay about RM 100++ per visit.

Can try going to UKM medical centre (formerly known as HUKM) in Cheras. They've got a good Ophthalmology team. They have a private wing, which u need to pay at a higher rate. But u can get an appointment almost immediately.

Otherwise, get a referral letter from a doctor (can be from the normal GP clinics) to see the Ophthalmology Clinic. However, the waiting list is slightly longer, but u still get the same treatment from the same doctors. Just the the charges lower.

Hmm I plan to go for this. Which place is recommended? I'm thinking of tun hussein onn eye hospital? I'm a student btw, is there any student rate? Thx

Assuming 1991 is your birth date, you need to wait a few years until you're able to do the surgery. Eyesight power needs to be stable for at least a year or more. No there's no student rate..this is a life changing operation with real risks and is not to be taken lightly at all.
