anyone experience glaring towards light after femto  lasik

its common after surgery, it depends on size of treatment zone and pupil size, dry eyes play a role too.

Haiya, don't want to be so public one lah.

Anyway, it's now day 10 and vision is still quite blurry - apparently I have residual shortsightedness in one eye (I think they said 0.75) and residual astigmatism in the other eye. But as my initial power was very high, they said will take at least 3 months to stabilise fully.

Was a little worried that this may be due to deviation, but the Dr said there wasn't any and the procedure was successful as normal. So I guess I have to hope for the best over the next 3 months.
*
Hopefully your vision improve soon, take care.

Hi all

I have been reading this thread and also did some research on this topic. I am planning to go for some sort of surgery to correct my eyesight. My nearsighted power is L-450 and R-600. I am 55 year old and presbyopia already kicks in 5 years ago. I work with computers a lot and lead a active lifestyle, running, cycling , swimming and photography. What is the recommended surgery for me?
*
You can go for multifocal lasik but not 100% clear for both far and near. Or u can do full removal for shortsightedness and use a reading glasses. Dont buy the idea of removing your own crystalline lens unless you have bad cataract.

Hi @Jialat, according to your post #1666 in this thread, you said you wont recommend ICL unless  can't do ASA. May I ask, why?
I have done eye check up at both Optimax and Vista. Optimax recommends both ASA and ICL due to thin corneas, they have done many cases for ASA whereas ICL, it is only 2-3 eyes per month. On the other hand, the consultant at Vista super recommend ICL and said they have done more than few thousand cases already. Do you why the differences is so big?

Now I'm thinking whether to go for ASA or ICL. Glad to hear few positive feedbacks on ASA. But I can't find any feedback on ICL at lowyat, therefore quite worry abt it. Hopefully you can clear my doubt, thank you. smile.gif 

Hope to hear from you soon. smile.gif

ICL is having an extra foreign body in your eye anterior chamber, there is always a higher risk of complication and i would rather continue wearing spec or Contact lens than putting ICL.

hi jialat it has been almost two months since i did rrlex smike on my left eye n asa on right. recovery wise relex was 6/6 the very next day but it is not stable. the eye with asa is so much clearer n i can see even beyond 6/6. The eye with relex smile i have slight astig and 6/12.  but i still have bad dry eye both my eyes.need regular artificial tear. Should have done asa both the eye even though recovery was slow but so im happy with my eye condition now..hope my left eye can improve.
*
Recently many complained of blur vision after relex smile, even those after 3 months. I strongly advise everyone to go for femto lasik if possible, cheaper and much better and faster vision recovery.

Those who already have the referral letter please do it this week because i think optimax is going to increase their price again next month.

Some centers 18, others 20. But as long as your eye power has stablized and stay the same for at least 2 years then ok.

I just did my FEMTO lasik surgery at Optimax TTDI with Dr. Stephen. Mantap! Can see clearly now. Just some glare at night while driving but the rest no problem.

thats good, your vision will get better.



QUOTE(ozak @ May 29 2015, 10:35 AM)
What is mono vision? Why the doc don't recommend you for lasik? Instead of contact lens.

Maybe you can try 2nd opinion from another lasik. Vista.

I was recommend by the lasik doc. Than just consequence 1 of the working lady there is same age with me and done the same lasik as doc recommend to me. She explain her experience after the lasik. Enough confident and just do it.

If you can wait longer a bit, new tech is coming.

monovision is one eye seeing far, and the other eye seeing near. Try on contact lens 1st and if cant get use to it, then better dont do monovision lasik.


QUOTE(ms.y @ Jun 1 2015, 11:42 AM)
went for d eye examination last weekend. D optometrist said that i am only qualify only for ASA or relex smile procedure due to d high power on both eyes. After the eye examination, went back and did some research, found out that some website mentioned that lasek is not recommended for ppl with pupil size that is more than 7mm. However some site stating that current technology actually cater for pupil size that max to 9mm. Not sure whether this should be a cause of concern .
*
if your pupil is huge, then you will suffer alot from halo and glare at night. I think you better stick to contact lens if you have huge pupil, but normal eyes are usually 4-5mm pupil size max at day time, night time may be 5-6mm. lasik treatment zone is big enough, so less problem for normal eyes.


QUOTE(TzeThon @ Jun 3 2015, 02:58 PM)
hi,

Hi @jialat. Sorry if you're not the right person to ask this..just want to know whether Optimax in TTDI offers other types of eye consultation and treatment..specifically regarding eye allergies to contact lenses?

I have slight allergies to contact lenses whereby i have a difficult time putting in my contact lenses into my eyes. I have no problem when i wear them..just to insert them into my eyes cause so much pain and slight tearing up.

Would appreciate your reply. Thanks
*
Contact lens allergy issue u should consult corneal specialist rather than optimax that mainly do lasik. I pm u the specialist name and location. But to be honest it doesnt sound like eye disease problem, just a matter of inserting lens skill or u might want to consider smaller rigid gas permeable lens which is healthier and easier to handle.

Hi, i went for the consultation at optimal ttdi for lasik. I'm given a choice to do either femto or relax. Still thinking whether i should proceed with laser. I was told that my edge of the cornea is flatter than usual people, hence i'm more light sensitive. So i'm wondering if i get laser, it will be thinner hence flatter. Not sure whether i should? Would like your advice as i forgot to ask that when i'm there.

Once of the reason i want to do laser is my astig, as glaring lights hurt my eyes and i tend to feel tired easily. Would love to get rid of it of course the thought of not needing to wear glasses and contacts. Wearing contacts is kind of suffer for me, but no choice for work and all.

Hope you could give me your two cents.

Thanks.
*
Lasik wont correct your astig completely, u will still have astig after lasik. Some patients ended up with astig which they dont have at all before surgery. If u insist to get lasik then do femto unless they are willing to refund u if vision after relex is poor.

not many people do it there, thats why they throw price to attract customer. if your eyes are worth more than 5k, please reconsider going there for lasik.

their price is always lower than most lasik center, their service is poor, hopefully their new management can improve the quality of service soon.

Hi jialat...

Sorry if you are not the right person to answer this. But do you know what kind of guarantee do optimax has for their patients? Does that means we can get 2nd laser from them for free if the nearsightedness is a problem again in the future? I read somewhere that it is a lifetime guarantee. Just want to know what kind of guarantee are they offering.

I did my laser with them about 9 years back. With dr azlina. Everything went super smooth as i was almost blinded with my previous vision. Was at 800 and 950 on both eyes. Got my almost perfect vision back (at least no spec for the past 9 years). Only recently that i think the clarity of it is not a 100%. And id like to know if i could do the enhancement (and if this is included in the guarantee). Do u know? Ive emailed them already. But not yet have the respond. It usually takes time. Let me know if you know anything about it. Thankss...
*
hi, what kind of lasik you did? not all types can have enhancement surgery, and also depends on your corneal thickness.

u having blur at near or distance vision? both eyes or just 1?

i think their policy is u must do annual check with them every year in order to get free enhancement surgery, once u drop out, they dont do free surgery for u anymore.
