Hi All,
I came late. I went to Optimax TTDI branch for pre-surgery eyes examination in December 2021. The exam results are as follows (roughly, I don't 100% remember):
Power and Astigmatism - Left: - 8.50 (-2.00), Right: - 7.75 (-1.75)
Corneal Thickness - Both eyes > 500 microns (around 5.40 microns)
Tears Test - 4s - 5s
Topography - Not Round
Age: 29
I was advised that I am passed for any kind of laser treatment, but of course, Relex Smile was implied as the advanced, low risk and less complications. I intended to get Dr. Stephen Chung as they claimed that he is the most experienced in the centre.
However, when I do research online, there are many (yes, unexpectedly many) unhappy cases of Relex Smile. I am also worried about slow recovery and higher risk for ectasia, eye dryness, etc. if I choose other method such as Femto Lasik.
This has made me stop to think should I proceed laser treatment. I have this on my mind since years ago due to thick and heavy spectacles, and now I have stronger intention to get rid of it after triggered by a quite successful case of my colleague (Femto Lasik I think, he also doesn't know).
Can I have kind advices/comments from you all? Thanks!

QUOTE(jialat @ Feb 4 2021, 12:57 PM) hi, u should go for femto lasik. post op ectasia risk can be assessed before surgery using Belin Ambrosio test, most importantly is consult an experienced and ethical corneal specialist, not just general ophthalmologist. They didn't give me the report of eyes exam, instead they only explain verbally. Thanks for info. Would you recommend Dr. Stephen Chung from Optimax TTDI, or you have other better surgeons in your thoughts? |

QUOTE(jialat @ Feb 5 2021, 05:02 PM) You can consult a general ophthalmologist like dr stephen, i would prefer to get a corneal specialist to do the refractive surgery if its for my own eyes. I recommend Dr Ainur Rahman in Ara damansara medical centre for lasik, he has very good record and feedback from many patients. You can search for it from other members in lowyat forum, if you want some discount on doctor consultation fee, just pm me name and contact number, i can pass to his nurse. Since u have seen optimax Dr, you can compare who is much detailed and thorough. thanks Sure. Thanks. |
