yes yes. I remember you mentioned about your doctor friend b4. haiz ....

Can we say that it is not the power issue which cause the blur vision it is the type of treatment ..?

when you mentioned about this [B]lasik centre doctor came up with all sort of bullshit saying that eye is complicated case.[B] I think I know who is the doctor commented this ...

I had same experience - I had many n vary version of explaination from their doctors also.



Huh , how serious is the patient ? due to stromal bed tissue lower than recommended level ? Care to share ? by pm?

I hope I will not end up with same fate ... pray hard..

But if he put on the glasses , does he able to see clearly?
For my case even w glasses still not able to get my VA b4 surgery.sad
Your cornea specialist friend is it the one you introduced to me earlier? But he is really close w them. ...

May I know more about your post relex smile friend?ex when he was confirmed with post lasik ectasia ? What are the symptoms? How long after the surgery?

How does he knows he suffer from post lasik ectasia ?

[quote=jialat,Nov 5 2016, 12:26 AM]
The doctor vision improved with glasses or contact lens but night time suffering with halo and ghosting.

The cornea specialist is not related to any lasik centre anymore, he works in private hospital now.[QUOTE]

Patient with ectasia post relex smile gets to know it after vision keeps dropping and went back for regular check up then only discover its happening after few months, its definitely less than a year time. His vision on right eye ok but left eye cant be improved by glasses or soft contact lens. Only hard lens can help him now.

Hi Jialat

Many post refractive surgery patient complaint about halo , starburst . Only post relex smile patient complaint about ghosting.I am one of it . for my case even put on glasses cant get back my vision b4 surgery and seeing ghosting during day time also.

Read thru the posting here by the post refractive surgery patient which complaint about vision problem are post relex smile patient. No enhancement yet can rectify this problem at this moment..


your cornea specialist work in private hospital now.


what is his power b4 surgery? how old is he? According to the doctor , post lasik ectasia happen is due to low stromal bed tissue ?Usually lasik centre will monitor patient's cornea shape. Do you have his contact ? I would like to understand more about his situation . by looking to his situation I really scared I will end like him


"CHOOSE YOUR SURGEON WISELY"

hi Jialat

no no.Of course u cant give out the details.no ethic to do that. just wonder he can share the experience here or exchange infor . that's all.

For my case , very complicated. diff doctor commented differently .But one thing for sure I know the surgery didn't go smooth so caused all the problem now.


I don't think they don't have anymore doctor who is wiling to tell me the truth , to help or knows how to fix my problem.

Hi Jialat

Really ? Joining the group also ? or will work in a private hospital?


From all the doctor' I met I think for post relex smile patient , if end up with unsatisfied result /problem. Hardly got solution for you..
No flap , how to do enhancement ?
Just like your doctor friend now , no solution for him. Usual bullshit comment will throw to patient but not telling you the truth condition of your eye.


If the doctor as mentioned by you coming back to Malaysia next year , I will consider to meet him/her to find my truth condition of my eye...

keep me posted.


thanks jialat.

My experience

Unlucky me .found out my dry eye test is only 3 after the surgery. Means optometrist lied to me says everything is OK during comprehensive eye test.

Now already more than 6 months after the surgery I still suffering serious dry eye problem.

Bear in mind , long term use of artificial eye drop is a cost to patient.

Sometimes it depends on individual also la....

Your power very high? That is y they offer you femto only?

If they told u not to worry , then u ask them back can he/she guarantee u will not suffer dry eye issue?

if my power is as low as yours , I will stick to spec. No risk no worry.. just a bit inconvenient . so what....at least still have perfect eye / original eye

You are smart .good to ask for a second opinion if you really wan to be spec free.

Unlike me ,too stupid to believe everything they says b4 surgery . Now suffering .

Ask about the post op side effect also .ex: dry eye , halo , starburst , ghosting....quality of eye vision might not as good as wearing spec.. especially night driving problem , once cornea tissue remove it will not grow back



Good luck to you , keep us posted your status.

Hi

All Refractive surgery -Post op Patient

Any of you experience this -eye power overcorrected after refractive surgery?

Mind to share ?

thank you

Refer below

Badai

It is not too late for you to find out now. Since you know already b4 surgery , it is up to you to make the decision now.
Did they go thru the eye comprehensive report-every single item with you? Insists them to explain main key point and remember every single thing they says to you.

"Just to add my two cents , think carefully b4 decide."

I am a post up patient with poor result -My experience

The senior optometrist also lied to me that I am suitable for refractive surgery after eye comprehensive test . Didn't even inform me my dry eye test is below <10.

Already more than six month after the initial surgery , I am still suffering a serious dry eye.

If you read thru all my post here, you will realise that you need to do research and homework.

Hi badai

U mean u get your eye test report right after the eye examination ? DId the optometrist go thru with you or the doctor ? I mean the report

enough cornea tissue ? ask question if you have doubt , if not after surgery some surgeon never bother to answer you.

u get what I mean ?

U did your eye test at TTDI or other branch?

Well ,I ask same question after surgery when doctor told my eyes are super dry , optometrist answer is bc my cornea surface is smooth enough to go for surgery. U have dry eye now apply more drops lo....it is temporary only....

I also did the same mistake. Terrible optometrist - she told me everything is good to go for refractive surgery. Push me to pay the deposit . Never go thru the report with me n not even provide a copy of the eye test report until I request for it after surgery .


I also thought this lasik centre is reputable so bodoh bodoh trust them.

What happen to the trust???

The surgeon is worst , no doctor ethic ,poor skill n lousy post op service.

All above are my experience with this lasik centre. All true
Nothing but the true

It is good for you to find out now b4 surgery. Lucky u.

If u seach online , u will find out many post op patients complaint about dry eye but never get a good response.

Did she mentioned to U, u have enough cornea tissue to go for femto? Explain about the side effect of reflactive surgery. Femto will cause your eye more dry than b4 surgery. Comments from a honest doctor.

Decision is on u. If u really want to be spec free then u have to accept the dry eye issue. U might need to apply every hr or 2 hrs.it is inconvenient n incurred cost also.

1 more important point-just my personal advice , remember to ask will you still have recommended/minimum cornea tissue level after the surgery.


I hope u will make a wise choice.

Hi




poor engineer

During your process looking for a good surgeon , if you ever meet a good Ophthalmologists . kindly update me ya.

hi

u smart did it at TTDI.

cornea tissue and the shape , insists them to explain .if can consult a doctor in TTDI

My understanding -
Cornea tissue - even you pass the eye test, doesn't mean you are suitable candidate.
they have to calculate how many micron u need for the treatment base on your prescription. -100 = 1 dioptre = ? micron
balance of cornea tissue (bed + flap/cap) must have minimum / recommended level

cornea shape - my reading is higher than yours .but result not good. all depends on the treatment requirement.

If you don't have the minimum cornea tissue level , you will expose to risk of developing post op ectasia.

You may refer to post by "poor engineer" - his point of view is very solid

hi badai

1)yes you have the minimum cornea tissue (eye test) but you need to know how many micron need to remove from your eye.it is depend on your eye power. This one you need to find out from them. From the calculation then only you will know balance of cornea tissue still above minimum.

2) cornea shape - same . you need to find out from them. If you eye power very high , it will flatten your cornea very much.

Hi badai

do you mind to disclose your eye power?

recommended level for stromal bed is 250micron plus flap 120 micron .


High power not very suitable for lasik. you going for full correction or monovision?

hi badai

I am a post op lasik patient , visit a eye specialist doctor(also a experience refractive surgeon)-after 6 mths . this is the comment from this doctor " lasik cause dry eye.

If your eye already so dry , it will make the situation more worse.

it is up to you to decide.

if you are worry y not get a consultation from other doctor for 2nd opinion.

wow , increase so much
