Thought I'd share my experience regarding my Lasik operation. I did mine at Optimax TTDI with Dr Stephen Chung end of August last year, so it has been nearly 6 months since. I chose Optimax TTDI after surveying a lot of my friends who have had their Lasik done previously at either Optimax or Vista. My eyesight before the surgery was 450 R and 425 L for shortsightedness with 150 astig for both L & R. I did Custom Lasik and paid RM7776 for both eyes (spreading it over 12 months).

The day right after the ops was painful and I popped all the painkillers given to me but after that my recovery was great. I have been (extremely) lucky and thankful that I have no side effects (none of the halos, etc that most people would experience). I did have very dry eyes for the first few months and had to bring the provided eye drops with me at all times but I think starting the 4th or 5th month post-op, I stopped using the eye drops. During my last eye check-up (3 month post-op), my right eye has 0 shortsightedness and 0 astig while my left eye has 50 shortsightedness and 50 astig - not perfect, but it's good enough and I'm happy that I no longer have to carry my contact lenses and solution every time I travel and have crystal clear vision the moment I open my eyes in the morning. It wasn't cheap but I still think Lasik is a worthwhile investment.

Just in case any of you know someone that has bad or worse vision after LASIK or any surgery, please let me know. I know an optometrist who specialized in POST LASIK or POST EYE SURGERY Lens which can help quite tremendously in reducing glare and halo.

READ THIS, I THINK THIS WILL HELP U TO FIND THE ANSWER,
What Is Lasik And Lasek Surgery

AFTER LASIK

obviously LASIK is for convenience and the handsome/beautiful factor..

as the condition of each person's eyes are different, you might get different results.. but majority people have gone LASIK with success..
worse come to worse if the power increase after operation, you'll just have to wear specs again, but by that time ur eyessights will be pretty much stable, so u won't need to wear superthick specs anymore..

can i withdraw my EPF for lasik?

This blog was useful for me and I hope it will be for those who are thinking about LASIK eye surgery: check LASIK blog . There you'll find info on indications, risks and more.

Do understand there is not much statistical data, but Lasik in msia been there more than 10/15 years now. How about thos who did the surgery in their late 30s or 40s, we should have some data from, them right?

Considering for my Hubby. susahlah

have lasik laser face any failure case in Malaysia's histories?

2-3 % failure rate

You might want to cite your source for that information bro.

Please don't just give numbers from out of thin air.

Optometrists from optimax and vista told me that, best is call their centre to confirm.

was recommended to perform ASA (advance surface ablation) procedure instead. Due to my cornea is thin. Doc says this procedure will take longer to heal 3~4 weeks time. what is your view on it?

The failure rate is in term of blind ?

is cornea thickness of 500mm suitable/safe for lasik? some center told me its the minimum. some told me not to do it. any of u have cornea thickness of 500mm had the surgery? what is your opinion on that?

not blind, just vision is worse than before surgery. never heard of blindness after LASIK yet.

the failure rate sometimes are caused by the patients themselves that doesnt have full understanding of their vision problem which are caused by underlying diseases (for eg. diabetes) , or decided to proceed even though being made known the higher risks compared to other patients (borderline cornea thickness for eg.)

Not all myopia are the "garden variety" type.
