How about the price for ASA?
*
ASA should be the very last option if your eyes can do other surgery, recovery of vision is much more slower.

I went check up and done everything. Now just checking the price and decide which branch i want to do.jb or TTDI. I am from jb.

RM 8000 for 2 eyes ASA, no discount since custom all laser lasik is better, so optimax prefer u choose a less complication surgery and give better discount on that.

I have been a contact lens wearer for 7-8 years. Do I need to stick back with my glasses for 3-6 month before conduction lasik surgery?

i check in forum (not lyn forum) a lot of people prefer customized lasik compared to relex smile. cause they say although no flap, still not perfect yet got a lot of left over power. is it true?
*
yes, happen to those early group because the machine wasn't calibrated accurately yet until many cases are done and outcome being studied to get better result. Thats why dont be the first early group even got great discount. thanks

is this "referral letter service" you're offering widely known by optimax? are they cool and welcome it very much?
surely they would have realized it by now. why are they okay with this kind methods. does not sound very professional.

i mean some guy on internet forum offering to give "referral letter" without really meeting any doctor.
i mean everyone wants to make money but why would they resort to this kind of methods?
won't it lower their standards?

i am sure they would prefer to place an ad with the forum and request a discount code to be mentioned to get discounts.
*
Yes, they know of this referral letter being offered here. Not only optimax, but vista also have this discount offer.

you still need to get full eye test before they can decide whether you suitable for the surgery. if you are rich then pls dont get the discount, i am offering to those who want to save their money.

other centers offer discount through groupon, but money spent there could have given to customer for discount.

almost one year since i done my relex smile, still blur/foggy looking at computer, and nothing to compare to the original eye sight. i would not recommend people to do relex smile instead, go for lasik is better as my 2 sisters done lasik and seems no complaint. went back to check up and the people will just telling you you recovered well and cannot find out the causes. guess this is it, just live with it with this vision. nothing can be turn back.

RGP lens will help improve your vision, should give it a try if u dont mind wearing lenses back.

Hi Jialat,

Would like to ask...

I'm planning to do an Eye Exam in Optimax... but I have high myopia (> 1000 degrees) and astig (~125) for both eyes. Currently wearing contact lens...

I understand that I have to lay off my contact lens before the Eye Exam, but how long do I need to lay off? Some told me 2 weeks, some 3 weeks, then I call Optimax, and a lady said 10 days? Confused... sad.gif

Thanks!
*
yes, 10-14 days is the standard duration for laying off the lens before eye check.

Received referral enter from bro Jialat. Did the full eye exam at TTDI optimax. They seem to be very busy thought I confirmed my appointment, they still made me wait almost 1hr plus. Paid rm175 for that.
Their Fenton custom Lasik is priced at rm7600 for both eye. Is that the std pricing?
*
their in house promo price is RM 8k but with referral letter only get 7600. Vista same type of lasik but different name is doing for RM 8800 during their promo.

Hi,  I have short sighted -6.00 and astig -3.50.
My optometrist told  me that lasik will not help much for the astig. Is it true? Does most people have the astig again after their surgery?
*
yup. your astigmatism is too much to be completely removed by lasik surgery.

Hi jialat,
Thanks for the info. So there is no other way except wearing glasses and contacts?
If the lasik can't fix the astig, I think it s not worth going through the procedure... It does sound scary..
*
Lasik can caused ectasia given your high amount of astigmatism, and u might end up with more problem and worse vision.

You can always do the eye test and find out more on what surgery is suitable for u.
