For an elective surgery, I'm perplexed that people are even considering trading a better vision for RM3000.
If I were you, I'd save up a little bit more.

I'm not saying that the cheaper package is no good.
It's the considering after knowing that it will probably leave you with the "lesser" eye that bothers me.

However, if any research proves that there is no significant difference, then by all means, go for the cheaper package. I know I will.
Think about it smile.gif

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.

Hi guys... It has been almost 2 mths since I did my LASIK at advance vision.

Eyesight has increased significantly but vision under dark or dimmed light is still not as good as I was wearing glasses.

Few weeks ago dr yeoh told me to wait after 6 mths. Then will decide whether I need enhancement surgery or not.

So far so good... Dry eyes problem is nil when I don't look at computers. If I do, eyes easily get tired.

Anyway, I am happy overall. If I would have to decide again, LASIK it is.

Else you may just have to do lasik again after few years.

hi. what do you mean by "vision is stable"? i'm quite new in this area and am researching about LASIK.

Hi Miner88

thumbsup.gif she is recovery well.

She underwent ASA ? Do you mind to tell what is her pre op power ?
May i know which surgeon ? Bc i am still looking for a good eye specialist .

Almost a year from initial surgery.
My case is quite complicated . one eye can function .but the other eye underwent relex smile really trouble me and affecting my daily activity.
Now doctors from lasik centre told me enhancement cant rectify my poor result and negative effect ...what is the use of lifetime warranty?????
Well ,  result of this eye will tell how good  is this irresponsible surgeon.....
In touch with other post lasik patient ,none of them end up with this type of negative effect....
Yes. you are rite on this statement."Anyway, i still think the key to get recover fast is to rest more and dont face too much on electronic gadgets."

But my case is diff , i know well surgery not  smooth . other doctor did  washout (another eye surgery)  within 1 mth due to debris left in the eye then created another scar.

That is y i say . " Choose your surgeon wisely"
