I just did Relex Smile at Sunway Eye Centre two weeks ago with Dr Umi, I made the right decision I would say. I was contemplating to do at Optimax or Sunway, I did at Sunway Eye Centre at last because of the price. It was RM 5k per eye during their CNY promotion, including my meds and follow ups. The original price was Rm12k for both eyes icon_rolleyes.gif

My power on Right eye before the surgery was -8.50 for short-sightedness and -7.50 on Left eye with some mild astigmatism. I was a hardcore contact lens wearer for the past 15 years because it is so inconvenient wearing a thick pair of glasses for gym and dancing all.

I didn't know Sunway offers Lasik too until I came across their advert on FREE lasik screening. LOL. I was like can give a try and see if I'm suitable for Lasik or not. During the free screening, they did some tests and told me more about the laser vision correction they offer. They have customised FemtoLASIK and also SMILE. I had a thorough check up like the power checking, lots of scans and also had my eyes checked by my surgeon Dr Umi for only a total of RM200. She was very friendly and patient in answering all my doubts. I went ahead with SMILE at last cause it reduces the dryness and no flap complications all.

I did my surgery the next day after my check up, I think I only spent around 15minutes lying on the surgery bed if I'm not mistaken, it was real quick and life changing...
My vision was hazy right after the surgery but I was able to walk around and read my texts all.

When I woke up the next morning, OMG, rclxm9.gif I can see so much better like after so many years...without searching for my glasses when I opened my eyes. My optometrist told me I could read the 6/9 line when I went for my first day follow up.

I went for my one week follow up last week and I could read the 6/6 line already, I was so happy! I find my vision is clearing up like getting sharper day by day and I do find the lights a bit glaring at night though which I think it is normal? cause they did tell me that before the surgery.

So just want to share with you all my experience cause I'm real glad I made the right choice! I hope my vision can maintain this way for longggg thumbup.gif

I was told the blurriness can last for months sad.gif This is why I didn't choose R.ex even though it's way cheaper than Relex Smile...
