wow...sounuds like a good promo
i wonder if valid for jb ...

hi guys, i would like to know if any1 did their LASIK/LASEK at Advance Vision> Hows the outcome ? would u recommend to get it done there.

short signed is coming back.. i have done mine at ISEC last year

it came back in such short period

dear all, just want to double confirm, even after LASIK, short sighted issue might return right? it's very subjective depending on individual, and eyes gets dry faster compared to original right?

planning to go for it, but worried about the effects of it, like the actual issue before LASIK coming back years after

before u go for lasik, it is important that u know that is ur power of short-sightedness stable for at least a year? if yes, normally means it will not go up anymore or mayb plus minus 25 power, only then u r a good candidate for doing lasik. After lasik, normal lifestyle won't really cause the short-sightedness to come back, if u r facing computer for abnormal long hours and u still hope ur eyes r okay with it, then dun go for lasik, i guess it will has a great chance to have short-sighted back.... As for dry eyes, it is common for every1 who has done lasik, surgeon will advise u to put on eye drops like every 2 hours except while sleeping ... and the dry eyes situation will slowly get better after a period of time... For my case, the 1st week check-up after my lasik, yes optometrist said my eyes was a bit dry, but then a month later for next check-up, everything is in good condition already ^^.. Hope this will help you

hi guys, just wanna ask, if I did not change my specs for 2-3 years ady and never did a checkup for my short-shortsightedness degree, can they check whether is it stable still or if increase and then stable?

want to try optimax though.

if your eye power maintained or no big difference from your current glasses power, then its pretty stablised. If big difference, then better wait for another few months or 1 year to double check the power before going for lasik. Most ppl eye power stablised after 20 year old unless u have bad visual habit and like to strain ur eyes a lot.

My job requires me to stare at the comp. screen for long hours but I do stare away every half to one hour once and walk about.

I still can see using my old specs (currently wearing and I am sure that my degree have increased). Im over 20 years old ady.

Thx for the advice jialat! nick seems weird. lol

then its best to consult the professional team in lasik centre for confirmation, if u require optimax referral letter for discount on eye check and refractive surgery, just pm me.

jialat is hokkien, i learn it when i was in medical school.

thx jialat! yeah, im hokkien lang, i think its funny to put jialat only

sometimes age also matters. i am 38 now... my shortsight hadnt increase since i was 26. in fact the power dropped like 50 or so...

i stare at computer screen between 5-9 hours a day with short break in between for the last 15 yrs.

the professionals can check your eyes and compare to your glasses. no worry.

but it is a bit hard to focus on the computer screen after lasik... i had to change the fonts to few points bigger. after a month or so i am ok now.

hey, guys just wanna ask how long is the recovery period eh? and is it normal to feel some pain after the surgery? my sis done her lasik this morning. and I feel worried about her. :sad:

the 3-4 hours after surgery, u will feel irritating on ur eyes...After that everything will be ok, but ur vision is nt completely back to normal yet...it takes time for ur eye sight to be improved, but u can see things clearly without spec after a day already ^^

pain... i dont think so. but uncomfort... yes.

recovery depends on age. if you've been on glasses for many many years like me (almost 30 yrs) then it takes a while... up to 6 mths.

sometimes i still have this action of taking my glasses as if i am still wearing them... even after 5.5 mths.

coming back means your power is not yet stable

hi jialat, can i have the referral letter? i will like to hv eye check up in optimax. will pm you accordingly.

u need the hard copy of the referral letter, i will ask them to pos to you.

please call to make appointment only after u received the referral letter to enjoy the discount

please present them the referral letter when you go for the eye examination and the refractive surgery. thanks

Hi jialat, do u think u can get any discount for cataract surgery? I was quoted around 5500~5900 for single lense and ~8500 for multifocal from Dr.Chuah Optimax TTDI.
Actually I can get a cheaper price (2900 if I'm not mistaken) from dr.yeap(jb/kk optimax) but since it's inconvenient for us to travel to JB, might as well do it here la.

Ok, i will check with Dr Chuah and get back to you. thanks

was about to think about this operation, usually how much? can you guys drop me a pm/reply me here?
