im 19 years old and im determine to do lasik in BM vista branch on september...wish me luck!!!

All FYI, if you live near Brunei (ie Miri, KK etc), you guys might want to go to the Optimax Brunei branch and checkout their prices. I went there today for a routine check up (after my surgery in KL) and the prices (after conversion) is -RM1000 compared to in Msia. Shocked that its so much cheaper. I guess this is because they can only send their clients to KK or KL for surgery. So might be worth it only if you're from KL and got a free trip to Brunei (or its surrounding).

just did my full eyes examination but i decided not to do it lol, looks scary. and my index is strange, i been wearing -2.75 L, -4.75 R for years, now they told me i have -2.00L and -4.00R... curve is 43.XX, and pressure is 19+-, another don't know what is 0.34 after dialection.. iris is 5mm..

Did you all see the article in papers two wks ago about removable corneal implant donut?

Lasik may result in eyes that are not good for old age lens replacements (which are proven and good) because corneas changed.

Maybe instead of lasik should do phaco for long term.

Check it out !!!

you guys should check out Phakic or visian icl.... it's much more superior to lasik treatment....

huhu so sad. I went to eye examination last saturday at optimax hukm.
they said maybe I cannot undergo operation as my cornea was too thin.
they askesd me to check again after 2 weeks.huhu

I was very interested to do Lasek. Even went for evaluation. Thank God that I found a very good ophthalmologist for a second opinion who warned me against lasek. Lasek surgery nowadays has become a major source of income especially to the eye centre that provide such services. They look at it more commercially rather than clinically. My Ophthalmologist is a harvard medical school graduate specialised in Refractive Surgery and despite that, his work ethic is good that he encourages his patient for Lasek only when their eye condition allows them to. so for those who are in doubt, i would recommend you to see this doctor

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)....

Black-out any personal details.

HI ,
I have been going Threw this forum and everyone have been talking about places like Optimax or Vista to got For Lasik ,, Im Planning to Go to The Tun Hussein on Eye Hospital in PJ,,and MY 1st appointment is end of this month and ill most probably be treated by Dr. Zainal bin Mohamad who is a Consultant Ophthalmologist
there,, has anyone Been There before For Lasik,, and if anyone know if its a good place to go ,, Thanks

Vista and Optimax, which is better?

Went to KL Eye Specialist Centre this morning for secondary opinion (first opinion from SDMC) on my eye condition after reading the above posting. That's not the only factor involved however, another factor is: it's relatively near to my house.

Took a taxi to the centre (I foresee that after an eye examination, I wouldn't be able to drive because of the eyedrop medication will cause my pupil to dilate), and it's located across the road from Jusco Kepong.

Filled up a form and was called up to see the doctor in 20 minutes.

The doctor enquired about the history of the condition, and informed me that he will need to do some testing. Asked me to wait outside. 5 minutes later a nurse asked me to go into the inspection room. Did Snellen chart test, and then lens test to check if I need glasses (I don't). The nurse informed me that now she needs to put the eyedrop medication to dilate my pupil, and will take some 20 minutes and few drops over 5 minutes interval to fully dilate my pupil. Even showed me a model of an eyeball to explain.

So after 4 drops in 20 minutes, the doctor called me in to inspect my eye. I don't know what is the machine called, I have to rest my chin on a contraption, there's red LED in the centre, light and the doctor uses a kind of magnifying glass. Around 8-9 minutes of testing, the results:

1. CSR (Central Serous Retinopathy) - was told I have this, similar to what I've been told by SDMC.
2. Occurs in Type A personality - was told the same thing by SDMC,
3. 60% patient will heal in 3 months, 80% in 6 months, 100% in a year - SDMC didn't tell me this. Was only told by SDMC that the condition will heal by itself: which is too general. For me.
4. OCT Scan - another thing that SDMC didn't tell me. The doctor further explained that eventhough the condition will heal in time, but how do a patient knows that the condition is healed? The doctor told me that I need to go for OCT scan, and that there are only 2 places (doesn't specify where, but I assume in KL) that can do OCT scan: one of them is the Serdang Hospital (SDMC doesn't have the facility). He wrote me a referral letter, gave the numbers to call and explained how can I go about making an appointment at the private wing of the Serdang Hospital.
5. Billed RM125 - SDMC billed me for RM2xx and RM3xx for two visits to determine my eye condition.

Verdict:
Very satisfied with my visit. Fast, and there is certainly more staff per patient ratio (I counted 5 nurses at the counter at one time), so they can afford to give better care unlike a busier hospital like SDMC. The doctor tells it as it is: he have no OCT scanning facility, but that didn't deter him to inform me that I need to do the OCT scan, and the fact that I need to do it somewhere else. Nurse took time to explain any procedure that they want to do, even eyedrop medication. Doctor m-a-y-b-e thinking I need further convincing (you know, I'm the type of person who brings a newspaper article about an eye condition to a doctor, you know my type) even opened up his Harvard text book (still got highlighted texts, maybe from his student days) and showed me what the book said about CSR. Fee is relatively competitive also, absolutely lower than SDMC. Will go there again.

I hv did my lasik surgery last month. but I can't afford to face computer more than 15 minutes otherwise i will feel tired with my both eyes. The problem almost exist for everyday.. Is it normal? Anyone of you are suffering the same problem with me?

Never had that issue.
I can sit online 15 hour straight no problem.
Everybody is different.
Give it some more time.

I also advised by optimax not to do lasik. so sad & dissapointed
but last sat went to vista for 2nd option.
First stage they said I can undergo nasa ilasik or implant
but I need to wait for 2nd stage (check up with surgeon)
to confirm whether I can do or not.(still not confident untill surgeon confirm it).
REALLY2 hope I'am a suitable candidate for nasa ilasik.
