totally agree.
should just go for the better package and settle it once and for all. but of course, money is an issue.
and i thought after so many years the prices should have dropped already. still so expensive.

can anyone give some explanation between many type of lasik surgery?
in internet say lasik, lasek is for different type of eyes correction. im currently have power -700 each eye with some astig. can my eye corrected by lasik/lasek etc??

3 weeks post LASIK

Lt eye power 6/4
Rt eye power 6/6

go find out whether u qualify for lasik using eye drop test about rm150..
then we talk .

ehhh ...why th elleft is out of range wan ah ?
see too many mini skrit ?

Did mine about 2 weeks ago.
Fully customized, even though my cornea thickness is normal

last check,
left eye -.25
right eye -.25

prior to surgery
left eye -5.5
right eye -7

still a little bit of glare at night with bright lights.. but other than that, no problem !

good for u bro
what's the quote they gabvve ? u

the full eye test cost only Rm 115 if you get the referral letter from the optimax authorized partner, if you dont know where to get, just let me know. I can ask them to fax in for u, so they wont need to pos to u also. fully customized laser lasik only rm 3750 each eye, my cousin did his and pay with easy payment, interest free.

oic ...so that is 7.5K for your cousin
what about you ?

even higher quote ?

If my eye got power 650, how much the cost arr...?

yup, his eyes power quite high, -12.50 with moderate astig and -14.75 with lower astig. less than 2 weeks now but vision is great for him, just eyes are quite dry, rely a lot on naturale tears.

I havent got it done, still waiting for sponsor, wakakaka

Ooooo...like that ah ...

same same here ....but over 5K ....
way over the budget ...

i think it was RM60 for the first eye check. Then if it seems suitable you need to go about 2 weeks or so without your contact lens and have a second eye check (can't remember how much, through)

I opted for fully customised, so a little bit more expensive. . about 7.8k for both eyes. I think the cheaper option is about 3k per eye. But what I liked about it was that the post op/after care/eye drops etc is free for 1 year and they provide an after hours emergency phone number if you need to call. You can opt to pay in interest free instalment.

A bit expensive, but I consider it fully worth it .. cos before this when i wake up in the morning without my specs i am blind !!!! If I travel and rub my eye, contact fall out, also blind !
And consider over the past 10 years, the amount I have paid for glasses/contact lens/solution .....

that's great for u lah
as for me ,,,i like badminton and it's not fun when sweat goes all over the face and places that yu dont want it go lor ..
ahahah..

haha ... same for me.. i run and swim, so it really sucks when cannot see.
if you're genuinely interested there is no harm with just going for the initial assessment and talking to the doc.. don't have to make the decision straight away

Normally how much for 1st check to see suitability if go Vista? Anyone?

is RM60 at Optimax. not sure how much for Vista though but i guess should be around the same ?

After lasik, how long need to wait b4 can run & swim again. Need to know coz I run a lot. thks.

1 month before can swim/sauna/steam room
they told me to avoid contact sports for 1 week..
for running i think it should be okay to go once your eyes are comfortable, just wear a headband or something to keep the sweat from going into your eyes.
By middle of week 1 i was back in yoga.

3 weeks post surgery
left eye: 0
right eye: astig .25

eye dryness is much much better, not dependent on eye drops anymore

it will be worth the wait it seems since no need to wear speccs liao ...
u cant do that undewater hor ..

going to have my intralasik at optimax tmr morning~~~~wish me gooood luckkkk
