Hi Jialat

Read the post here , can say that you are the person who has interact with most of pre & post refractive surgery patient.

May I just ask you something or your opinion?

So far any post lasik patient complaint about seeing ghosting image and end up with scar at cornea surface ?

is it true that high power post lasik patient
1)will end up seeing ghosting image after the refractive surgery?
2) quality vision is not as good as wearing glasses?
3)VA will drop after refractive surgery due to ablation of the cornea surface?
a post lasik patient : member's name "miaka_tama " . his power is also very high > 10.00 dioptre. he didn't complaint about ghosting image or reduction in vision quality at all ?
thanks
Any post relex smile patient here mind to share your experience or status ? I mean those with high power. patient. thanks

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 ?

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.

Holy cow, always thought it was in the 7k price range. Sudah naik til 10k. She's gonna wear specs for the rest of her life then

i did not get the report immediately. she just said i am qualified to do it without showing me any report to go through one by one. she just explain the lasik procedure (3 of it) and since i already told her i want to do femto lasik, she skipped the other 2, then proceed to make appointment.

after that i pay deposit and only after that i got the report in envelope which i didn't bother to read until i'm at home. at first i think 3 secs is "not dry" but then i noticed all other values exceed the printed value on right, and 3 secs is less than 10 secs. only then i realised and that is when i asked in this thread if 3 secs can still proceed.

i just think big company like optimax shouldn't cincai2 do thing like this. they should go through the report one by one and when i come to test which is below the required value, they should show and explain. at least tell lah "your value is 3, but some smart ass pandai2 put the required value as 10 in the form, but don't worry, as long it's not zero, you can just pay us to do your lasik". but no, she just skipped it.

ha... anybody from optimax read this? better give good answer before this get viral. i can still edit/delete this post if got good explanation.

did at TTDI. when I got the discount letter at USJ optometrist, they specifically told me to go to TTDI, beside jialat also recommend a doctor there.

where did u do yours?

as for the cornea tissue, here's my result:
thickness R: 571,583 L:564,576 required: 499
shape got 2 values L: 42.75@161 & 43.00@71 R: 42.75@163 & 43.50@73 required 48

don't really know about the shape part.

so is my cornea thick enough?

which type of procedure u took? relex smile or cutting flap?

meaning?

easy for them, but would be hard for me later because of the dry eyes.

I don't mind using eye drop, but my concern is my vision will be worst compare to using glasses now.

with this 3 sec dryness, do you think my vision would be worst than now (with glasses)

how much cornea do i need left. i'm already 40s and my power has been stable for years. at first thinking of making new glasses (with the same power) then i come upon this thread and thinking why waste money on glasses when power already stable. why not waste more money on lasek? hahaha

anyway, managed to call optimax and the optometrist is very confident that I wouldn't have any issue because even my eyes are dry, my cornea is thick enough to adapt to the dryness.

haih... can't really figure out if it's true.

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?

after few months my vision will be good?

the optometrist told me at most 2 months only I have to depend on eye drop

For your information, annually eye checkup cost will be go up next yrs for optimax.

From RM65 to RM100+

do u know about the life time warranty?

i am aware of that "rabun dekat", that we all cannot escape, other than that, is there any other issue being 40?

I have to checkup at optimax for the warranty.

My eye lasik have lifetime warranty. But must do annual checkup.

Hi Jialat

Just wanna to find out from you ,

1) if we do lasik at lasik centre A can we go other lasik centre B for annual check up? Will they accept?

2) compare femto and relex smile , which treatment remove more cornea tissue per dioptre? And idea?
thanks

just wondering, does the optometrist aware if she  gave "wrong" or misleading advice their license will kena tarik, and didn't optimax have reputation to hold?

Means old technology is more reliable? what kind of technology is that? 

I know their so called "warranty trick".

As long as I still can afford, just go for the checkup. It is like my annual medical checkup.

hi badai,

just to share.. i have the same problem with u.. did eye examination at optimax ttdi, dry eye test is 3 seconds for both eyes.. and have a flat cornea.. but the optometrist said that i'm suitable for all type of lasik.. but i have doubt since the min requirement is 10 secs.. so decided to get a second opinion at another place.. the result still same suitable to do lasik.. but i'm still not satisfied with both results.. start googling more and have decided that better to not waste money.. dun wan to suffer from dry eyes and permanent halos/glares at night..

i m post patient for femto lasik, since i people here was discuss about dry eye issue, heres i going to  share mine.

i do my lasik on middle of January 2016, my condition was fulfil all the required for the lasik, except the dry eye issue which they mentioned to me but not emphasis, my tears dry was about 3-4 sec just like you all.

After  done my lasik, my vision recover was great, I can even play computer game on the next morning. Dry issue on recover period (1months) wasn’t really bother to me since I have my eyes drop daily.

On the 2nd month, post check-up result satisfied, only right eye with +25 astig, I highlighted my dry eye , optometrist told me is normal issue, just wait after month will be ok.

On the 3month, post check-up result still remaining satisfied, only right eye with +25 astig, I highlighted my dry eye issue (Redness), optometrist told me is normal issue. Have to apply more eye drop every2 hours.

On the 6th  month (Discharging month), post check-up result still remaining satisfied, I highlighted my dry eye issue, I told them my eye is RED, I did exactly what you all told me to do so. Still the problem exists. They referring me to the doctor, and the doctor recommend another stronger eye drop (Ultra Systane -  if I spell correctly). I apply every 1-2 hours, eye getting better, however, it did not last long.

Today is the 10th month after my lasik, The problem for what I facing now, I  wake up every morning with RED EYE , both eye consist on discharge (eye shits) , doctor told me this is  due to dryness. The function of the tears is help to discharge bacteria, dust on eye to the nose. After I apply for eye drop, the redness slowly dilute, but redness still persists after 1-2 hours.

Most of the time I have to rely on the eye drop. Whenever I go even when I staying in the house.

So my advice if you guys those having dry eye issue, PLEASE make your Choice wisely, else you all facing the problem just like me. As what Jialat Say , dry eye will get worse after lasik which I didn’t pay much attention on this.  And this is what I facing all the time……

sorry for the mistake, is -25, previously was 50 to 75 i cant really remember, most of the time i facing blur vision. but sometime i will feel sore on eyes, rasa macam pedih...
hiii...jialat, i really feel worried regard redness and dryness...but what done is done, yes, is cost RM50 purchase from watson, available 24 tubes only.......what is the function for the genteal gel or visidic gel and where can i get it, i willing to have a try on this .....

like this, cancel lah this lasik. will call tomorrow

Hi Jialat . what do you mean by "they are well protected " ?
BTW , I am still waiting for doctor that u mentioned earlier that he is coming back to Malaysia.

how about if i make appointment with vista to check if i am eligible for lasik, kind of like second opinion.

If you looking for a 2nd opinion, don't go to this lasik surgery.

There is no different between A lasik and B lasik. Their main is to get customer. What also ok.

Go to eye doc.

Anyone have any comments on Lasik service provided by Tun Hussein Onn Eye Hospital?

Hi badai

Did u meet any optimax doctor  for consultation during eye test?then u can compare their opinion.
I remember jialat has a cornea specialist doctor friend from lasik centre but now work in a private hospital.

Try ask Jialat

Hi Jialat

Western country lawyer comment  "signed consent letter" doesn't means grant surgeon a license to make mistake.

Above statement from a medical negligence case in western country.
