hi

YES. request the doctor to show you n explain then ask for a copy.

As a patient , definitely we have right to know truth condition of our eye after the surgery and doctor has responsibility to show to patient with proof.

it is not wrong to tell the truth from experience.

u have choice not to read it.

when a person want to make money by introducing more ppl to lasik surgery which they are not a qualified person/professional to explain the process of this type of surgery. that is wrong.

Even a opthamologist dare not say "risk is minimal to almost non existent" to a lasik candidate. who are we to make such statement??????

Well said.salute

Hi Miyukiyuki
True to say that miyoko28 and I underwent relex smile treatment and operated by same surgeon Yen siew siang . both of us end up with impaired vision. miyoko28 done with enhancement (cut and created with flap for 2nd surgery -enhancement) but yet vision show no improvement.

years from the initial surgery yet no solution to rectify this distorted vision.



THINK WISELY

CHOOSE THE SURGEON WISELY.

hI Jialat

Just wanna to understand about this lens replacement surgery.


laliloo is only 32 now , if he go for lens change surgerynow . later in life if he develop presbyopia does he needs to go for surgery again to replace the lens?


in my opinion if lens is healthy why want to replace it ?

Hi miyukiyuki

Once this lasik surgery is perform , it cant reverse. So , think wisely.

KARMA has no menu, this unethical surgeon will get served what she deserve.

Hi

As far as I know multifocal lens is for those who has myopia& astig and presbyopia at the same time and developed cataract. Meaning clouding lens and it usually happen to older ppl .

you are only 32 and having healthy lens , is it wise it to change lens now? in future if your presbyopia increase , do you need to change lens again ?

May I know much is the multifocal lens per pair now ?

what are the things do & don't b4 and after this cataract surgery procedure?


thank you for the infor.

Hi Miyukiyuki


I am a post lasik patient .

Optimax klang conducted a pre op comprehensive eye examination , informed me that my lens is CLEAR but provide no examination report prior to that.

right after lasik surgery , my eye cant see well. 2 months from initial surgery went checked by their corneal specialist then informed that my lens is yellowish.


back to your question ,I don't think the doctors will answer that question.

Hi Jialat

for my case

Pre op comprehensive eye examination , optometrist n surgeon report said lens is clear.
2months after surgery , their corneal specialist reported my lens is yellowish.

can laser cause the lens become yellowish ??? or lens is already yellowish b4 the surgery?

thanks

hi

1)Your are already 35 , in few years time you will need reading glasses.

2)Bear in mind , femto & relex smile procedure will burn your cornea tissue . once burned it is gone it will not re-grow. Always ask if sign up for this procedure , what will be your residue cornea tissue. recommended is at least 250 exclude cap(smile) , femto (flap)
By looking at your eye exam , you do not have enough tissue to correct your high power with femto & smile. I know bc my power and pre op corneal tissue are almost same as yours. after surgery, corneal tissue of 1 of my eye go below recommended level.
And smile has higher complication case. if your post op corneal residue tissue go below 250um , your eyes is expose to post lasik ectasia.

3) Your power is rather high. According to post op medical report which provided by optimax corneal specialist . common occurring for high power patient --corneal scaring. What is the use to furnish this infor after surgery???? you get what I mean?

4)Based on the eye exam , your have a serious dry eyes. my test also didn't meet the requirement , but the surgeon n optometrist just mentioned dry eyes issue will disappear between 6 months during pre op consultation .Now already 2 years from initial surgery, I still having this dry eyes problem . I got to spend RM100+ permonth just for eye drops. you judge by yourself how thru is this statement ?

5) how come , your eye exam didn't mentioned your lens is clear ? your may ask for information. This information is important bc the corneal specialist said higher power patient like us might get cataract much earlier compare to others.if lens is already turn yellowish , no point go for lasik surgery now. I am concern bc my case is whereby pre op eye exam said both of my lens is clear so can proceed for lasik. After surgery , my eye with smile procedure can't see well . Struggle for months , pushing optimax for answer then only they told me my lens(both lens) are confirmed yellowish. See , how unethical .

6) ASA - no experience . but Dr.Stephen told me face to face. this procedure is a painfull/uncomfortable procedure. you have to take off for at least a week.

7) of course , surgeon skill is more important too. Dr.Chuah is more willing to tell you about your eye condition (for my case) but very cocky and bad temper. Only he talk , you will never has chance to talk unless he is in good mood.
Dr.Stephen , he might be good in doing lasik surgery but lousy in diagnosis. if you end up with issue , he will take you round the whole garden but the firm answer to your eye condition.

8) 1 last thing , this statement is from corneal specialist " lost of quality of vision is common for a high power lasik patient". it all depends on what you expert from this lasik surgery.


All above are my personal experience.A horrible experience with this optimax doctors and management.Eyes screw up and struggle with this post op vision.

Think wisely , judge by yourself.

Hi jonnyha

if you really want to go for the surgery . maybe you can take jialat advise. no harm to get a second opinion from a professional doctor.

Once lasik is done , there is no reverse.

[quote=jonnyha,Apr 9 2018, 12:04 PM]


1) The age is a concern, I just don't want to have both myoptic as well as need for reading glasses later. Double the trouble.
3) Not sure if I understand, that attachment is my eye examination result. Yes, power is rather high.
4) The mentioned 'dry eyes', but didn't say it was serious. My concern is not so much on the money spent on the eyedrops, but like I mentioned, I don't want to move one dependency (glasses/contacts), to another (eyedrops). 2 years from initial surgery is a long time, will the dry eyes be permenent?
7) I believe I might not even have time to speak to the doctors. I asked about it yesterday, stating that if I go in earlier next Saturday, could I speak to the doctor. They responded stating that I might just need to speak to an optometrist/consultant, and doctor may not have time. That's quite disappointing.
8) Lost of quality vision is common -- but for a high myoptic person, there is already no quality vision, correct? I guess this is why most people would think about doing this in the first place.



1) they not able to tell whether your power can fully corrected.
2) Not many really understand the result of the eye exam.
4) Your dry eye test didn't meet the minimum requirement . Ask them to explain the meaning of test result 4/5? your tears dry out in how many second? their doctors NOT ABLE to tell you how long i hv to depend on eye drops. it is very unconvenient.once eye get dry vision also get blur.
7) you are going for eye surgery , my advice talk to a doctor before decide. optometrist are not really professional to tell you about your eye condition as a whole. it is your right to request to speak a doctor.
8)"Lost of quality vision is common -- but for a high myoptic person, there is already no quality vision, correct? I guess this is why most people would think about doing this in the first place." what I meant is after surgery , you will lost your vision clarity due to higher aberration. by that time contact len or glasses not able to help you .

hi

You ask them what does he/she mean confidential???? that is medical exam on your eyes , you have right to have a copy.

All medical centre provide a copy of all test carry out by them. why optimax cant provide unless they have hidden agenda.

it is a package , of course fees paid is for exam + report.



Yes. get a second opinion. Don't rush for eye surgery.

Hi Jialat

Yes. you are totally rite on this. They also will pass the "letter of consent" just b4 the surgery then patient don't have enough time to think/consider carefully.


I will say it is nothing to do with cheap or expensive fees. it is professional ethical.

Are they earning commission based? I mean the optimax optometrist

Wonder when KARMA will knock their door????

hi


I am not surprise to see this happen . I mean comment from optimax.

Bc I also ask for report & data when my eyes cant see/function right after initial operation and surgeon refuse / unable to tell me what's wrong with my eyes. Spoke to optometrist she refuse to provide any information unless I paid RM80. So I spoke to the operation manager then only they release the data. But I took the data n refer to 3rd party doctor , u know what I found out . the data is incorrect. Until know they refuse to provide the requested data but just sent an email to inform me that they no longer has the complete diagnosis data of my eyes.
worst thing , surgeon knows that there are debris left in my eyes n corneal is swollen but she just ignore it . Luckly another doctor help to do wash out n remove the debris from my eye-interface.
Seriously I do not hope to see another victim.

Yes. update us your status. hope you are good.

Hi
Good to know that you are well informed about your eyes status.

Hi

Usually post lasik patient will see halo , glare n starburst.

But you will be seeing it for how long or serious it depends on individual.

I suggest you check with your surgeon when you go back for check up.

Bc I am still seeing halo,glare , starburst even though 2years+ already from initial surgery. Optimax doctor not able to tell me it need how long to recover.
