well, better to enjoy life when younger rather than worry about when you're 60 years old lol
I know a few people who did lasik 10+years ago and are still fine today.

of course there's horror stories too, especially if you ask the eye doctor. He told me got a malay boy who did lasik and now his cornea is too thin and developed ectasia as a result. Now his power is like 800-900 and untreatable I think, and unable to wear lens so has to wear specs for the rest of his life. He probably did lasik at some ghetto place anyway.

What I mean is after many years down the road - are there any side effects that will occur or the chances of needing to go for correction again?

Nothing I can think of, unless you did the surgery with unstable eye power. Or if the doctor undercorrected/overcorrected your power during the surgery itself, but I think that's rare depending on what place..what doctor..your cornea etc.

optimax hukm is currently having promotion... only rm1399/eye

just did my custom wafefront intralasik at optimax ttdi on last tues.. so far my vision still a bit blur but at least i can still use my notebook n watch tv..
luckily, i'm on leave this week and can hv some good rest at home

haha congrats! new milestone in life
4 months later and I'm still enjoying 20/20 vision. My left eye even better than 20/20 even

Try not to use computer so much, boring I know but gotta rest. I think TV much better since the screen is far away. Did the doctor tell you to avoid sunlight? I wanna know whether lasik patients need to avoid sunlight as badly as epilasik ones.

What do you mean by Cost:RM 7000. (If had done the basic lasik would only be half the price,done at HUKM and TTDI also)

So, wat is the effect if I get teh 3500 one?

it's bored stayin at home not doin anythin.. so will still use nb to online or watch mov..
even for lasik, we are ask to wear sunglasses when goin out under the sun.

Added on May 1, 2009, 8:12 amthe price diff is due to the different tech they use when cuttin the lense. the cheaper one use blade and the more expensive one use laser to cut.

don't be cheap when it is about our health.
If i don't have enough money & can only afford the blade system, I will wait & save some more to afford the bladeless, all laser system
The all laser system is proven to be more effective safer as it relies less on operator. More on the machine which is far more accurate than human's fingers.

agree with u.. doin lasik is no small matter. would rather spend more money for the latest techno..
if u dun hv the money, then save first till u r financially stable to pay for the better techo.

Im planning to have LASIK treatment.

Poorly no such clinic can do the treatment here in Terengganu.

Any one can guide me where is the best place and surely, the cost, hehe.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

that statement really give me a goosebump! I SHALL WAIT 5 YEARS MORE! THATS IT

Hi. Just thought some of you who are still looking around may be interested in a new eye centre in Midvalley KL (International Specialist Eye Centre or ISEC, www.isecmalaysia.com ) which is offering good value for money LASIK procedures, without all the confusing up-selling "packages" ...
Had a chat with one of their rather helpful staff at the recent Maybank Treats Fair in Midvalley. Think they offer free preliminary basic LASIK check ups. They also have quite a few eye docs there so you can choose your preferred laser surgeon..!

i did it about 7 years ago in midvalley, so far so good. think of the positive side, definitely save alot of money in glasses and all the hassle.

im from sarawak and going to KL on 20th - 23rd Sept. Thinking to go n have medical checkup(to see my eyes are suitable for lasik or not) at Optimax but dunno got open or not because its Hari Raya...
how far is Optimax from Subang Jaya anyway?

well, i think i have dryness problem for my eyes...was a contact lens user for about 8 years but stopped last year, because not feeling well when wearing it, probably caused by eye dryness (tried daily disposal & monthly contact lens but still having the problem)
and i have problems when wearing spectacles too, feeling dizzy/headache always, pain on the nose/head near ears area(those area in contact with frame of the glasses), and even Ghosting/Double Vision effect sometimes when i wear my spec.
these several problems make me feeling uncomfortable all the day and i have to quit my job half year ago (autocad/3D design job which bring more stress to my eyes).

thinking of doing the lasik for my eyes but was worried about the risks...including pain after surgery, Halo for some people and even more serious eyes dryness for my eyes which are already dry...
feel free to give any opinion and share about ur experience if u just did lasik lately...thanks..

just did my LASIK surgery at VISTA The Curve...they were quite professional...but im kinda getting annoyed with the dry eyes issue...

want to ask, when does the blurriness subside usually? for those who have done it?

1st day will be very dry & blurry.
Unless u have diabetes, 2nd day will be much much better.
I drive there alone on the 2nd day for the checkup.
If u are not confident, give yourself 1 week & u will notice the difference.

Hi all~~


I wanted to do Lasik on my eyes, any recommendation? They said Optimax is good, isn't it?..

Price is also quiet a problem with me...

maybe anyone can tell me where to find cheaper but good..??

anyway, I'm a student at HELP university college..

monthly installment should be good enough
any center is good & reliable enough.
personal preference.

went to optimax today for prelim consult. next week going for the 3 hour eye test. the price is really bugging me haiii deciding whether to go for the custom or the conventional intralasik. bleh. price is 1000 diff per eye. but seems to be the better of them.
