hi all

i have just made an appointment for an eye check up with Optimax TTDI scheduled 2 saturdays from now

like many others, i have read so called 'true horror stories' about complications after undergoing lasik, especially regarding the side effects such as halos, glares, extreme dry eyes and the likes. The stories are somewhat similar, that the side-effects are very serious and although the clients' visions are 20/20, they cannot see clearly or are in pain and its affecting their quality of life. Even worst, nobody can help or know what is wrong with their eyesight.

I know this is not the best place to ask, and of course i will clear my doubts with the surgeon before deciding, but for discussion sake, what do you guys think about these stories? i am worried that the same will happen to me, altho Optimax ttdi claims to have a lifetime warranty (Vision for Life Program)

Are my concerns unfounded?

Optimax is a real good eye specialist, my sister working at there (HQ).

There is a new website to educate and inform people about good ophthalmologists and all other ophthalmic conditions for the general public in Malaysia. You can post a question on the facebook website too for some free advice.

yup agree.. Dr Chuah from Optimax TTDI.. He's good

32, Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur
51200 Wilayah Persekutuan,

here ?

hey, i just went to optimax TTDI...

Need some opinions to those who had their surgeries there..

I was only given 2 options as my power and astig were really high. about 800 power. 600 astig.

Did u guys picked epilasik or all laser lasik ya?

and how much did u pay for it?

cas it was quoted 3388 and 3888 per eye.. but with just a mere talk abt discount, they gave me a RM200 off, excluding the RM200 for recommender. Just wondering if I could ask for more discounts?

Hi... If your cornea is thick enough, you should be able to do epilasik. I did all laser lasik in january with optimax cause thought that the healing process will be faster than the other. You need to get confirmation on the healing process for both procedure... Can be quite confusing... I think until today, most of us are not clear on the healing period for different procedures...

thanks yeowa! how long was ur healing process for all laser lasik? did u had to wear the contact lens to protect ur cornea? dunno if its all laser lasik or epi lasik...have to wear contact lens..

how much did u do it for ya?

Thanks for sharing your story. My husband is considering about laser eye surgery, but we don't know much about it. Well, I'm going to share about this to him.

you like it?

do we need to pay for the eye test before lasik?
btw, is there any student price for lasik?

i can answer this =)

this saturday would be the 3rd week of me having done epi-lasik on both eyes.

why epi-lasik? i was given a choice of either lasik (all-laser) or epi-lasik for my left eye and no choice for my right eye (epi-lasik)

the reason was both my eye corneas were a bit too thin, with the left being on the botherline and right eye being too thin for conventional lasik which involves cutting of a flap. i was recommended to choose lasik on left, and epi-lasik on my right. After the consultation, i decided to do epi-lasik both, as they said my cornea was too thin and therefore if i were to do lasik and if i needed retreatment (touch wood) for undercorrection, it would be very risky and near impossible.
besides, i am only 21 this year, so there is a high chance i might need retreatment in the future.

i assume you know the difference between both procedures? epi-lasik does not involve any cutting, just scraping of the epithelium

Added on May 25, 2011, 10:39 pmthe healing process is different for everybody and each eye may even heal at a different rate in the same individual.
depends on what you mean by the 'healing' process as well. But generally, lasik offers a faster result and healing, patients can see 20/20 even the next day. there is also less pain involved in lasik compared to epi-lasik. (i was out of action the first 3 days)

this is my third week of having done epi-lasik and i am still not seeing sharply yet. the normal recovery rate is a few months and some may take even up to 6 months. but i can see well enough to read, see the computer screen and drive, tho my far vision is not that good yet. if you are really interested i suggest you book an appointment with the consultants at optimax, they will give you a thorough explanation and answer all your questions as well inform you about all the risks involved.

oh yea, i did have to put up with the contact lens for 5 days. it was an utter discomfort and was so happy when they could finally take it off.
feel free to pm me if you want to know about my experiences =)

chocoholic has explained to you... for all laser lasik, no need to wear contact lense liao... and it took me a week to get rid of the irritating power adjustment vision... The first 3 mths the power will be adjusting still and now i am entering the 5th month and I feel superb... can wake up and walk without glasses... Since you have this information, you may ask the sales consultant there to explain once more... very confusing one if you don't know...

They will have promo for free eye test from time to time. You just have to register your interest with optimax. They will call you up when they have promo. Try not to pay la, since you can get free. Not sure about student price though...

Oh... so that's the difference with epilasik on the contact lense part... I don't need it as I am doing all laser lasik... The first 3mths you will feel the vision become blur still... entering 4th-5th month getting better. And ya, I am still having dry eyes and I am putting artificial tear drop still. Before lasik, I have irritation on my eyes and was prescribed artificial tears. After lasik, feel the dryness again, I ask my doctor to refer me to the specialist and was told dry eyes could happen up to 1 year after lasik surgery. My eyes still got a bit of scar and hopefully by end next month, it will be completely heal...
