6PM nobody call me.

I’m lucky to have come across this forum. My mom both of her eyes has been diagnosed to have cataract and glaucoma. I have brought her to optimax ttdi for consultation. I also have brought my mother to see other specialist in Ipoh, since we are from perak, but it seems that they are not quite experience in glaucoma. If we were to do the surgery at optimax, can I get the referral letter from you for a discounted price? Thanks in advance.

Hi , Jialat

One of the member here pm me that KPJ - Centre for sight also offer relex smile surgery. Do you have any contact which good in treatment post lasik patient ?
Is it true that it is advisable to seek a consultation from a surgeon who got experience in relex smile surgery? I mean for post op - relex smile patient .
What is your opinion?

Hi Jialat

would like to ask you for your opinion.

When go to normal optical shop to make glasses rite , while checking the VA they switch the light.

But why lasik centre let the light on while checking post op patient VA?

Do you know why ar ? What is the impact ?
thanks

hi Jialat

Are you certain about this ?

All the years , when the optometrist test me on snellen chart , they do switch off the light.

Even when I bring my children for eye examination by eye specialist doctor , the doctor do switch off the light as well.
