QUOTE(yoshi86 @ Dec 1 2011, 07:54 PM) 2888 is for normal lasik, i do custom lasik RM5588 due to my eye power is very high. rm5588 per eye ?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. |

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? |

Is there a regulatory body to ensure all these centres provide the best support/care for their patients? 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. |
