yes, sure. i live in kuantan, pahang.

Was told that my eye only suitable for ASA. Anyone can share their experience on recovery? And when can you comfortably look at computer after surgery as my work involves me looking at computer everyday....

if take few months to recover 100% vision, during the few months, will my eye be able to see suitably? like reasonably or it will be totally blur for me?

My current shortsightedness is 425 and 525.

Hi jialat,
Can I have your referral letter because I am going to Optimax on 29 July for checking.
Thank you.

Or do you hv any recommendations?
Tks

Hi MakNok
Yes

After so many months from the surgery date ,  I am still having the vision problem until now.

Solution.... ?????Doctor unable to advice  until now .....

So, what you saying now....LASIK.. Relex smile all still not safe procedure after so many years?

What is refractive surgery? So it help in improving the condition as what "Really Confuse" suffering now?

Like to know more. Thanks

Quite agreed with above statement . because read thru so many review about lasik surgery , patient has blur vision after relex smile . so far didn't see any review about blur vision after femto custom lasik...
Jialat , PRk is the blade type?

Huh !!!! Blade type??????

Definitely will not in my consideration list.

They must have better solution for me..

Are you serious ? smile enhancement solution is only PRK ? This totally was not mentioned by optometrist and surgeon before I sign up this contract . I am sure the optometrist told me that  if result of the surgery below acceptable level  , they can always go for enhancement. Never expert PRK will be the only solution...

If patient can accept PRK ,do you think patient will be that stupid to pay so much for advance tech ? Unacceptable ...
I called up the lasik centre after surgery , how come optometrist told me enhancement is either ASA or femto ?Someone is mislead the patient..

Your friend's case

-he's  VA is (6/9) is due to residue power or something else ? with glasses does it help? And no compensation given ???  this is bad.
- Relex smile is flapless surgery , of course your friend refuse.How is he now ? how to deal with it?
If PRK is the only solution for me , my eye is done . I am seeing double image ,tissue below minimum  ,  w  glasses not much help.
POST OP result totally is out .

anymore hope for better solution?

Yes ,You are totally rite . I read thru medical data and get to know what caused this eye disease "ectasia" after lasik.
Most patient totally not aware about this ectasia.

Pray hard  my eye will heal over time and no enhancement needed.. painful experience

They told patient refractive surgery take 1 to 3 mths(as far as I remember) to recover.in actual fact , it takes longer time than that for vision and corneal to heal also.

yr doctor friend .
seeing his status .. speechless ..this refractive surgery affected his life and career badly.

I shall wait for the doctor's recommendation for the upcoming check up and then only decide.

Jialat , I think you able to provide more reliable information for patient compare to some optometrist.

Just to update my Lasik Surgery, Did it today morning at Optimax TTDI, everything went smoothly just abit suffering for few hour after surgery where same as what other people say, tearing non stop and feel my eye abit stinging.  I took Custom Femto which cost around 4.5k++ and chosed Dr. Stephen Chung, he is really good, explain all the procedure and answer all the questions which I ask and during the lasik surgery, he will keep update on the process. As per current status, I could see clearly except abit hazy which is normal. 

Just want to remind other who going for eye assessment and Lasik at Optimax, if they have other promotion on going now and you have referral letter from Jialat, have a check with them on what is the difference of this 2 package. Their optometrists, counter staff and phone operator have communication problem, all 3 party I heard from giving me different answer so the best is to clarify everything before paying any deposit.

Finally, I would like to thanks Jialat for the referral letter and his USJ Optometrist friend Darren for the great help on settling my issues in Optimax.  I also bought a Rayban sunglasses from USJ optomerist shop where Darren (Jialat friend I guess) gave me a good discount on it 

I have shortsightedness of only 150 but really hate wearing glasses. Was told that it has to be a minimum 300 in order to qualify for lasik treatment. Is this true?

Hi Jialat,

I wanted to bring my sister for her eye check up and laser. Would you able to help for recommendations eye laser specialist Centre? Her myopia around 900 both eyes

i paid deposit to book the slot in july with Advance Vision, the actual slot for my lasik is in early september. today is the third weeks post surgery.
the clinic only perform surgery every friday and the whole August is fully booked. mainly i think is due to the lower price compare with other specialist. i paid 400 as deposit and the rest paid by credit card instalment plan for one year, about 211 per month. total i am paying about 2900.

just sharing my experience:
1) check up - 2 parts required. 1st part, optician will check on your eyes condition. if cornea is too thin, you cannot do lasik. i passed the first check up, second part is to see the doctor for final check up. the doctor will determine if you are suitable for the surgery. i waited for few hours on a sunday, cos i dont want to go twice. the queue is very long as there were lot of ppl, be prepared to wait. doctor said i am suitable to do. paid deposit and wait for my actual surgery.

2) one day before surgery - went back for final checkup. the optician will check the eyes condition again. you are not allowed to wear contact lens for a certain period before the surgery. i was wearing glasses so no problem.

3) actual day - waiting time is very long as well. take your meal before going as i waited from 12.30pm and left around 5pm, without lunch...
the nurse put few eye drops in my eyes to numb it. the assistant to explain to me what is going to be done, what to take note during surgery, eg, dont move your eyes, where to look, what you will smell etc.

4) surgery - went into the operation theater and asked to lie on the bed under the machine. once lie down the doctor will start the procedure, everything happened very fast without you have time to think. the doctor told what is he doing while he is doing. he will clean your eyes, put suction, create flap, laser, replace the flap, clean your eyes, and done. each eyes less than five minutes. no pain and no discomfort, just that i know they are doing something to your eyes, and cant feel anything. i then can walk out the room myself. doctor checked my eyes again before i left

5) post surgery - before leaving, the vision is blurry but i can walk on my own. the vision was quite clear the night itself. went home, took dinner and the painkiller and off to bed. must take the painkiller i think. i did not experience any pain or teary eyes post surgery until today.

6) recovery - the next day morning my vision is clear, went back to the clinic for first check up. done and left in one hour.
the recovery is painless, just that not used to the vision and still getting used with it. the eyes still feeling weird, just keep on putting eye drop according to the instruction. went back for second check up the next week.
i shower using goggle for past three weeks as the water cant get into eyes. this is to avoid infection to the cut when creating flap in your eyes. this is the most annoying part as quite difficult to shower with a goggle and need to be careful when doing anything with water. not to forget to sleep with eye masks for first five days. the adhesive tape is so sticky on your face..

it has been three weeks from my surgery and my vision is clear. left eye i can say 95 percent clear, right eye is perfectly clear. i dont think left eye will become as clear as right eye as it has been three weeks post surgery. as long as i am able to do my daily job without difficulty, driving without the need of specs. i am fine with it.

i did not seek second opinion before surgery and this is the only clinic that i went. did check with few friends who did lasik in optimax and vista,the technology they used is without creating flap. they are able to shower the next day and no need to wear mask when sleeping. but the price they paid is triple what i paid.

consider myself lucky as i did not experience anything bad. i have floaters in my eyes just to add on. all the above are my own experience.

why you say "dont do relex smile"? isn't it the "best" procedure now?

nm. found good description here: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-advantag...mpared-to-LASIK

Hi,Jialat.

Hope you can give me some advices. Eye lasik was in my mind many years ago, and it keep popping up to my mind when I see friends around me have good results and hassle free without glasses/lens.

My last visit for eye examination was 2 years ago from now, at both Vista and Optimax. The recommendation from Optimax was "suitable to do relax smile,advanced surface ablation (ASA) and Fenton lasik. Also, in the eye examination report, everything seems fine to go, except my dry eye test which was not ideal, which is 4 (ref: >=10 per Sec). Tmr I will go for a final eye test before surgery (if I were decided to do it). I believe the result will not much different as I still feel need for eye drop for my daily operation. Due to my dry eye problem, relax smile is the best option to me according to the consultant there. However,I read some post surgery review of relax smile, the complications of blur/weaken eyesight/late recovery make me worry so much. As this will affect my working,my eyes are heavily use during working hours, reading article, computers etc. so appreciate if u could give me some advice based on your best knowledge which technology I should opt for, or I shall not go for eye lasik?

If you were recommended me to undergo for eye lasik, may I have your discount letter?

Thanks.

Hi jialat

can I get the discount letter?

TQ.
