for how long do u guys have dry eyes after intralasik surgery? i have done my intralasik 2 months ago in optimax and i am still having dry eyes...

do u guys continue using the same type of eye drops (Allergan - Refresh Tears)? or switch to other type of eye drops? i have tried Alcon - Tears Naturale II but it seems doesnt suit my eyes...my vision was blurry for about 5-10 minutes after using...

Hi i thought of having lasik surgery , and i have did a research on the lasik centre's like Optimax, Vista, Centre for sight and Advance Vision, all around pj centre's. So far of all these lasik centers i've been to, i found out that Advance vision gives a good service and and a very reasonable price like RM2,888 for both eyes. The dr (Dr Yeoh)over there is very friendly and patient as he explains and answer every single questions that I ve asked. As compared with optimax and vista, they kept pushing me for a expensive package e.g. RM2,998/eye(good) RM4,998/eye(better). Advance vison, they only gives me two choices RM 2,888 or RM5,588 for both eyes and they said it's an option for us to take or not and iam very glad that ive found that at least i can do the standard/ conventional package compared to Vista or Optimax where they tell me that i have to go for custom lasik bcoz i have a very high Astiq. One more thing they are offering a lifetime warranty and follow up check up is free for life too. So do u guys/ gals have any comment ? as ive booked a surgery date on the 4th of June.

tq 4 sharing. please do share ur experience after u done ur surgery.

2388 is not the custom if i rmb correctly,

went back to optimax the other day to do the detail eye check out (rm 120 refundable after operation)

they recommended me to do 3288 + 3388 (no promotion price for this) for my left n right eye. my power damn high.. left eye 750, 250 astrix, right eye 650, 250 axtrix

went to advanced vision as well.. my opinion they r not as good as optimax.. from what i gathered from their consultant, advanced version need 5 minutes for one eye op and optimax need only 1 minute. that's what their consultant said la. and advanced vision told me too many scary part abt the op.

probably will get my eye done at optimax once i have the time to do it.

one thing i dun like abt this 2 center is they keep pushing u for higher price op, is like they dun give u a chance to choose the lower price one so in the end if i m taking the optimax package actually there's not much of promotion price also. kena their marketing strategy. kns

Hi guys,

Thanks for the informative thread.. spent quite some time going through all 17 pages. Well all the discussion here seems to be exclusively on lasik, however I see that Vista is also offering Implantable Collamer® Lens / Implantable Contact Lens, which looks like has less risk than a normal Lasik, since they dont cut any tissue out but just add another layer of lens.
The URL is here :

http://www.vista.com.my/icontactlens/index.aspx

Anybody here have experience with this technology before? Is it better than lasik, same as lasik, or worse? I saw one possible complication is when the two lens collide (the implant and the natural lens) - sounds scary if you are playing paintball or go diving into the high pressure depths of the sea.. (and I do both), and I regularly rub my eyes too..

I'm thinking of doing a prelim check with Vista on Monday..

1 more hypothetical question, imagine you are being offered a chance to do a free lasik surgery, anywhere in the world, regardless of the cost. Where would you choose to do it? UK? Japan? Singapore? Malaysia? Any particular place, clinic or doctor to recommend?

Thank you & Cheers

How is your condition now? Have u manage to find out what wrong with your corneal?

I'm a post-LASEK patient. Suffering post-LASEK complications for almost 6 years. Seen about 20+ specialist in Malaysia & Singapore. No one are willing to tell me the true until I meet up with DR JERRY TAN in Singapore. Currently, preparing to file a lawsuit.

Don't go any doctors from Optimax.... and don't go to DR CHING WENG SENG (no ethic)....

Hi,

My fail LASEK surgery in 2004 has resulting in my life and my lifestyle change, lost of employment income, incurred substantial investigation fees, affliction.....

Currently, preparing to fail a lawsuit.....

From my many years in Internet Search, I have read a lot of medical forum and medical journal, there are many fail laser surgery (including Malaysian). You won't know because victims have a hard time to get a solid medical report and to find a lawyers....

Show us what failed.
If it really failed & due to negligent, it will be very easy to get a good lawyer.
Lawyers know when they have a case.
& there are many independent hospitals u can go to.
If u don't trust them here, go overseas. They have nothing to lose by telling the truth.

As always, all surgeries have risks & can fail.
But not all failures are attributed to negligent. Well most are not.

Hi All,

I juz check up last Saturday at The Curve Vista.
Huhhuhhuh... Unlucky me
I was told cannot do Lasik (cornea too think) as well as Implant (size not fit).
.... any advise?

Sad news.. maybe you can try and get second opinion at Optimax TTDI?

I checked at Vista the Curve also and doctor Aloysius said my eyes are not very suitable for lasik but there are plenty of space for ICL, which is fortunate. (I think he mentioned something like 2.8 is required but I have 3.1).

Unfortunately I have very large pupils > 10mm which will cause noticable halo, glare etc later on..
Still considering whether to go ahead or not!

wow!
10mm is super large.
Mine with 7mm already he said large enough.
I do notice some glare after the surgery (not sure if it is there before the surgery & I didn't notice it) but I got used to it & it doesn't bother me at all.

Hi,

can i know which one that u are going for ?? RM2888 or RM5588 ?? i though of having lasik surgery too but not sure do i need pay any money for the check up or consultation ?

To check whether are you suitable for lasik is free and if you plan of doing the surgery, the doctor have to put in drops to check the health of your eye, for this part you have to pay RM80.I have done the surgery last friday on the 4th of June. Its really worth it for the price of RM2,888 for getting a perfect vision without wearing glasses, good customer service as well as the doctor over there is giving a very good explanation before the surgery and i also felt that I am on a safe hands. I waited quite long for almost an hour before doing the surgery but i felt worth waiting. A few of my cousins plan to go over for the surgery too after they saw me doing it.

what is the "ideal age" to do laser?from what i know, the ideal age is around 21...is it recommended to do it before 21 years old like around 18-19?
