How is your overall experience so far?
Quite good. Optimax is clean and quiet, feel very relaxed and safe to go do treatment there. They explain step by step, once you pay the total no need to pay anything extra, all the meds and follow up free for a year. Going for my 3-month post check up soon, eyesight has stabilized and dry eyes also improved a lot. Very happy with my choice.

Hi all, just after some opinions and yes I've been through the thread for info. I live overseas and will be back for a month later this year. Looking at either TransPRK or Smile but unsure at this stage as I'm unable to commit to all the post-procedure checkups (both have at least a follow up 2 months after procedure).
I'm looking to do it here as it's very cheap (at least compared to where I live). Is it okay if I cannot commit to all the post-op consultations apart from the ones within a month from procedure?
Thanks 🙏
PRK requires more after-care. I was initially planning to do PRK but unless you're in to extreme contact sports, no real reason to choose this. I wanted PRK originally because studies show long-term, it is better for pts with astig, but I did femto-lasik instead which is just as effective. Smile wasn't suitable for me.
You need to do the 1 day, 1 week, 1 month follow up as that tends to be most crucial afaik.Plus if you skip those, you void your lifetime guarantee
