Hi guys. Please help me to choose between optimax or advance eye specialist.

Which one offer better success rate and better after care services?

I'm also planning to do Lasik..Recently went to Optimax to do an eye health check and I quite like the environment and service there..Seems professional and good. Which one you're planning to do? The normal Lasik or RelexSmile?

Hi dude.i haven't decided which one to go, Lasik or relexsmile. Will need the doctor to suggest it to me, and see the cost as well.

When will u proceed with the surgery at optimax?

Can anyone explain why if i opt to go for FEMTOLasik surgery i would need to get myself to do a COVID-19 test while if i opt for RelexSmile surgery, i don't have to get myself to do a COVID-19 test. This is very confusing and the consultant from Optimax is unable to give me a very strong explanation. I feel that they are just pushing for RelexSmile. Does this even make sense???

Hi, I just had my consultation and eye check few days back. I had a great and clear explanation from the optometrist named Izwan at Shah Alam Optimax who gave me clear picture of the procedure, as well as Dr Zai the ophtalmologist.  With regard to Covid screening, RelexSmile only makes a small incision thus categorized under low risk Aerosol Generating Procedure compared to FEMTOLasik or Custom ASA, both the latter takes a longer time and produce more aerosol which pose risk for the surgeon compared to RelexSmile, thus justifying the Covid test. If it was to me, I wouldn’t go for anything less than RelexSmile, it’s the best procedure with the least corneal incision size and least risk for debilitating dryness. I haven’t decide the date yet but insya Allah will go for it within this next 3 months.

Thanks for the explanation. Somehow i felt that Optimax is pushing for the RelexSmile option. Am getting a second option from another doctor and shall see how things goes. Anyway, thanks so much ya!!!

I really strongly recommend RelexSmile as myself facing not much issues with it and fast recovery as well. My left eye did RelexSmile actually reached 95% on the second day and 100% after 1 week (But i still unable to read super tiny word during that time. Now i can see quite clear already after 1 month)

Not sure is side effect or what I facing eye pain and serious headache 1 week after operation and doctor does not give any solution until i found Magnesium from Pharmacy.

The medication function is to relax my muscle (eyeball) as what they told

Now almost 1 month already the headache and eye pain is gone and able to work as normal d.

While my another eye using ASA the recovery progress is very super slow. It is only slightly better than first week after removed bandage lens and now 3 weeks already the vision is seems like about the same.

But overall does not affect my vision and i actually can see 95% clear now when seeing stuff with 2 eyes.

I actually have no flare problem during night time. But the flare will appear again (mild) when my eye is super tired

I got a second opinion from Dr Ainur from Ara Damansara Medical Centre. He told me and explained to me that is not advisable for me to go thru lasik due to certain condition in my eyes. He explained to me in a very detailed manner. Maybe you can go and see him and get his opinion as well..
