Once I heard someone shared about this. He is a knowledgeable man in his late 50s. He said he is NOT sure all of these new technology is safe and good to use cos it is too new to be used on human body. It looks safe now, but we dont have a history record of the consequences on a human body for 50yrs later, or 100 yrs later.

Same goes to sugar-free sweeteners, it looks like a good choice than traditional sweets, but who knows what would actually cause in our body one day? We wont know.

It stops me from considering to try out new tech of Lazik and started to learn how to get rid of my glasses naturally by self training. Im able to reduce from spec power of 350 to 275 now in 2 yrs and still trying my best.
Astigmatism is gone for sure from 50 to 0, last month's latest record.

As for sugar-free, i prefer to eat simple and get rid of topping up my taste buds by eating more and more fancy food... Im generally on diet at most of the time, but when i feast, i feel im the luckily person in the world for the great food cos my taste buds are alive after a long time and i get to taste every single little special taste from each bite of the food.

love and regards to share with all of you.

That is the risk I was willing to take.
Very happy with it now.

What do u mean self training?
How did u reduce the power?

I don't diet.
I like sweet food but I never ate too much anyway.
I monitored my weight & it have been quite stable for a few years.
Seems like my normal diet is about right.
No excess sugar turned into fat.

I don't really exercise either.
Maybe I used most of the energy while surfing internet?
I do surf for 4-5 hours daily though & my normal walking speed is rather fast. People have trouble catching up if I start to walk fast
Our brain uses a lot of energy especially the optical processing part.
If u are tired, close your eyes. U can feel the relaxation

i'm going for two hours check on sat @ sunway optimax to see which treatment suits me...
i would like to know where i will do my surgery if i decided to do???
is it all branch can request difference doc to do surgery for them???

Choose Dr. Chuah at TTDI Optimax centre to do ur surgery. Experienced and professional.

I alrdy make my bookin for my eye examination on next tues at optimax TTDI next week. I plan to perform the examination and also the surgery on the same day.
Since so many ppl recommend Dr Chuah, I also ask for him and according to the customer service, Dr Chuah perform surgery on either Tues and Thurs.
Can I know whether the examination will also be performed by Dr Chuah too on next tues?

But in 50 years time, regardless of what consequences, I'm sure the patients doesn't really care too much anymore that far end of their future. They are offered ways to ensure their youth are lived in hassle-free manner, and willing to pay good $$ to ensure it happens and their visual anomaly are cured instantly. Natural method of improving vision takes too long a time and dedication, which many of us are unable to commit. That's why some didn't believe in it (too little number of people who commit, and even far less of them success in gaining 'fairly' satisfied improvement ), or the rate of improvement doesn't worth the effort the time spent.

It's the same mindset like obese people. They can't be sure they'll be truly fit again even with commitment towards eating right and exercising. The result might takes year. That's why there are liposuctions and other weirdly named surgery to cater for them.

I'm sure LASIK, LASEK methods will be improvised in years to come, to further reduce the risks of complications and minor inconvienience. Maybe in 10 years time, the procedure might involve a quick zap on the eyes for a min, and its 20/20 all over again.

agree on this.. I'm now alrdy 30.. i'll be damn lucky if i can live for another 50 yrs as i'll be 80 then...

I did my surgery on a Thursday. Eye exam can do any day, doesn't matter. Don't think Tuesday was an option to do surgery last year, maybe they changed it. Anyway Thursday is better cos you can take leave on Friday and have the whole weekend to rest. Minimum 3-4 days for lasik, 1 week for epilasik have to stay at home mostly. Cannot play play lol, eye health must take care.

yup, they change liao.. now Dr Chuah perform surgery on Tues and Thurs..
actually i'm on 1 week off next week as I'll be back to my hometown in melaka. thts y i plan to hv it on tues so that i can have more days for recovery.
since i need to travel from melaka to TTDI, i choose to perform the examination and surgery (if possible) on the same day.

afaik, we need to go bck for checkup again on the next day, rite? was wondering whether is it possible to have the checkup in seremban branch as it will be nearer to melaka compare to TTDI.

Ah ok nice, 1 whole week should be fine for recovery. I'm not sure whether can do both on the same day since I think your eyes have to be dilated for the exam which will interfere with the surgery, gotta ask them. Yup need to go back the next day/3 days/1week/1month and so on for a re-checkup, probably should be able to do at another branch, but not sure as well...gotta ask them again.

Make sure you got UV-protection sunglasses ready btw since you're gonna travel in daylight a lot. Very important for me, epilasik patient, lasik im not sure as important or not. I also got goggles to use when taking bath so I wouldn't get water in my eyes..lol optional.

Actually I took only 1 day to recover to the point that I can drive alone confidently.
Eye still very sensitive to bright lights but using sunglasses, no problem.
Of course depends on each person general health.
My mom who have diabetes, need at least 1 week.

check dy, optimax customer service say it's possible to have the examination n surgery on the same day. Morning perform the examination and surgery in the afternoon (if everything is ok). As for the other branch thing, forget to ask.. but i think shouldn't be much problem as it's juz some normal checking, rite?

wah.. the goggle thing is very interesting... too bad, i dun hv any goggle..

I train myself to take off my glasses more often by reducing the spec power.
i dont relay on sugar-free, in order to do that, i take minimal sweetness as possible, i personally dont have sweet tooth
