2888 is for normal lasik, i do custom lasik RM5588 due to my eye power is very high.
When: End November 2011.
Where: advance vision
Power: Right 750myopia/550astig Left 800myopia/350astig
Treatment: Had custom wavefront lasik, which means the computer guided laser thingy does the cutting according to shape of each eye-this is supposed to give better result especially for glare/night driving problems and safe cornea tissues due to my eye power is very high.
Cost:RM 5588
My age: 25

Current situation
Doc say due to mine is high power, it will take longer time to recover. so far now had pass a week, my vision had recover around 70%, sometimes very clear but sometime might bit blur when look at small tiny words in pc or newspaper. Doc say need 1-2months than only can fully recover. i did not suffer any dry eye or irritation issues. probably 1 month before my surgery i had start consume bilberry daily (friend recormend as say it is very good for eye). will update again the conditions 1 month later.

this one is best answered by the surgery centre itself i guess.. u can actually post the question to the respective centre's FB page, like Vista or Optimax..

anything is possible
but they check the size of the eyeball and ur cornea
so need to burn the initail myr120 just to check it
unless can do it for free
cheapease in jb around rm80 to do assestment check

but the package atleast 4K per eye in jb
so sad
cant afford
so stiicking to my 700++ specs for now
until i striking the toto

thoseKL wan says that says 2 eyes under rm2k is using old technology and not recomeended
so the add is gimmick so that u sign up tfor the 6K per pair package

at the ned of teh day it is really up to you whether u wnt o to sign for the package or not
so you mut relly make sure and you have enough credit to for the whole plan
or at the
the only person that will suffers anre your love ones
annd so forth

I have been wondering the motivations of many young people interesting it LASIK/LASEK to remove the dependency on spectacles/contact lens "forever".

Q1) if the procedure is successful and zero side effects.. the benefit last 20++ years (spec-less). For those who did it lets say at age 21, after they reach 40++ years old, presbyopia sets in.. so its back to using spec again.

Q2) the "lifetime" guarantee by many LASIK centres to correct vision is dependent on the cornea thickness of patient. There is a limit on how many times a cornea can be reshaped to restore visual acuity.

Q3) As LASIK has tampered with the cornea (same like eye surgery), what happens when we have cataracts when we gets old (which is common as we aged). The success rate of cataract surgery depends on the integrity of the cornea too.

So its doing LASIK /LASEK first, enjoy for the next 30++ years, then start worry bout "higher" risks of visual impairment when we gets older for many of us here?

Finally, with all the different pricing and promotions by the centres... it started to become like "plastic surgery" already. Is there a regulatory body to ensure all these centres provide the best support/care for their patients?

This is a relatively new type of surgery.
Therefore no long term data is available.
As with all surgeries, there are risks.
We took an acceptable (to us who did lasik. May not seem acceptable to other people & you) risk.

As of now there is not much evidence to prove that lasik will be detrimental to our health in the future.
Of course that may change with more long term studies in the future.
Dependency on glasses is hazardous to me. I cant find a suitable sunglasses that can accommodate presciption lenses.
Without it, I can barely open my eyes while driving in full sunlight.

It is a no brainer FOR ME. smile.gif
