Hi jialat, I wish to have eye test and lasek at optimax
Can I get a referral letter from you?
Also, which doctor is good in ttdi.
Thks

Sorry, any diff btw LASIK and lasek?

Main difference Between LASIK and LASEK is thickness of the flap which includes corneal stroma tissue in LASIK and only epithelial tissue in LASEK.

google it, here the link

hi guys.. im going to do my 3 hours eye check at Vista Eye/The Curve on 21/March.. then will decide whether want to do the surgery or not.. scare scare..
i was offered RM6.6k for both eye (No-blade LASIK "Aspheric")

Tell us how it goes. Good luck!

PM me if you want to go Vista for eye check and Lasik, my optom friend referral can help you get discount.

Ah sorry jialat, I already made an appointment this Saturday for eye check.

you still can enjoy a discount on eye check and LASIK cheaper by Rm 500 if you want. U can get an optimax referral letter from my friend in subang.

I went to Vista @ Bangsar today. They performed a full eye examination on me, and they say my cornea is thick enough for LASIK. My cornea thickness is around 580-590.

Now I just need to confirm the date of the LASIK surgery with them. Will be either this Monday if there is a spot, or Thursday. Should be able to confirm tomorrow.

i think my i have lazy eye (left) after retinal detachment operation. can lasik help it?

Before the Surgery
Both my eyes had 700+ power with a bit of astigmatism. I could hardly read anything without glasses that wasn't at least 10 cm near my face.

Getting to the Surgery
I did my Lasik operation last Monday at the Curve. Vista was nice enough to provide a shuttle service from their Bangsar Office to the Curve. I went with another patient, an Indian guy.

Payment
Please note that you have to settle the full amount of the surgery before you can proceed. I didn't realize this because a Vista staff told me I could pay in instalments earlier. Actually what she meant was you had to swipe the full amount from your credit card then pay the bank. So if you do not have enough credit in your credit card (which I didn't), you can't swipe and continue for the operation. Luckily I managed to transfer half the amount by direct deposit using CIMBClicks, then swiped the rest via credit card.

The Indian patient went for the surgery first. Meanwhile they prepared me by making me wash my face using Johnson n Johnson baby wash, then dressed me up in those operating theatre gowns. They also gave me a locker to put my bag and glasses.

Flap Creation
First they dropped some anaesthetic eyedrops then proceeded to put the suction cup in my right eye. I kind of panicked and they had try 3 times for my right eye before it worked. I also asked for more anaesthetic eyedrops. However there was no problem with performing the suction on my left eye. After that they used the laser to create the flaps. I had to stare into some light, which was kind of difficult because the light glare is very big and I wasn't sure where to focus.

Cornea Shaping
They moved me to another table where I laid down for the laser to do its cornea shaping. This part was completely painless, but I really wasn't sure where to actually focus on the light above. I just tried not to move my eyes as much as possible.

Immediately After
They asked me to read the time of the clock, but I couldn't I could barely make out the lines the clock. I guessed the time correctly but to be honest I was kind disappointed and scared because I read from other people's experiences they could read the clock immediately. The doctor said not to be afraid since my power was reduced from pretty high (700+ on both eyes) and it'll take some time to adjust.

The First 4 Hours
My eyes started tearing and I couldn't look at bright lights. Vista had a driver send me back to my house and I could barely open my eyes. When I did, I could barely see anything. Everything was so blurry. When I reached home, I immediately put some eyedrops and the eyeshields and slept.

The Next 4 Hours
After waking up, I was happy that my vision improved. Everything was still quite blurry and I had a hard time reading anything but I could confirm that I could at least read words and text from an arm's width away. I went out for dinner by myself.

The 1st Day After Operation
When I woke up on the morning after the operation, my left eye's vision had improved a lot. But my right eye vision was still blurry. I went to Vista @ Bangsar for post-operation checkup and my left eye could read the chart they gave me clearly. My right eye had double-vision and everything was still blur and could only read the first row clearly.

4 Days Later
Very happy with my left eye vision. I would rate my satisfaction with it as 9/10. It's also not red at all, unlike my right eye. Sadly my right eye is very red due to the suction, and vision isn't as good. I would rate my satisfaction with it as 7/10. Overall both my eyes have improved vision, I can use the computer with little trouble. I managed to play Team Fortress for a few hours last night too. In fact near-to-middle vision I can see almost everything clearly and pretty sharp. But when it comes to distance vision, I have to focus a while because only my left eye can make out the details. Anyway I hope my right eye improves.

thanks for sharing your experience bro.. my surgery will be on 5th April.. nervous nervous!

by the way, how's the flap creation process?? is it painless as cornea shaping as well??

Flap creation itself is painless, but the suction before that I felt something. In fact the whole operation only the suction I felt discomfort. The actual laser I didn't even know whether it was on or not. I didn't smell anything.

hi all,

Wanna get some opinion from you guys, ive been reading all bout lasik procedure. Looked up several eye clinic, OPTIMAX< VISTA etc etc.
I still dont quite understand bladeless, laser, all laser, tissue saving. What exactly is the difference. It seems like most lasik procedure now cost 6k-8k.
When i told my relatives that i am going to do lasik that potentially cost 8k, they are very surprised. 3-4 of my relatives did lasik like 10 yrs ago, both in Msia & thailand. Cost them around 4-5k only.
I told them, style lama use blade. But they insist that the one they did are using laser. & they complained maybe i ask upscale clinic thats y so expensive.

Please advise.

So can i say conclusion = lasik nowadays more expensive than last time, due to newer technology & machine?
Their justification to me is, y use the expensive ones. They did for 10yrs ago using blade/bladeless everything is well WHAT!
Blade/Bladeless/laser conclusion = clear vision WHAT
So hmmm...i am in cloud 9 confused.

Please advise
