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...
i was told to be very patient and that my vision will fluctuate. it sure did fluctuate like crazy, one day the left has double vision, the next day gone. another day right eye has double vision, next day gone. and it repeats itself again. until now it is still adjusting and my surgeon (dr stephen) said it will take up to 6 months for it to completely stabilise. 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...

hopefully by this saturday they would be able to tell. but for now i can see clearer than without glasses or contact lenses (my prescription power was -4.75 left and -2.75 right, with high astigmatism also)
good to hear you are happy with your vision now, altho isnt 5 months a tad longer than the normal recovery rate for lasik?
can't wait for mine to stabilise =)
i have an existing dry eye problem also before the surgery, now i go thru a box of Refresh Plus (preservative free ones) in a week. (means every week spend rm30 on eye drops alone)
