i wanna ask, just now i go Optometry check my vision, currently right 9.00myopia/1.0astig, left 7.5myopia/2.0astig.. i actually wanna get contact lense, but the optometrist ask me to go for lasek instead.. cheaper for the long run.. Any recommendations? And normally for my power, how much should i budget?

Hi guys, i done my eye check with Optimax last month, i given option for left eye can do relex smile custom laser and ASA, but another eyes only ASA and relex smile.. i was scared cos i saw some forumer did ASA and the recovery is slow, and dry eyes.. and very painful.

i am going for relex smile next week.. but looking at wat had been discussed, i am starting to worry >< cos i cant do ASA due to my work nature.. i can only do ASA/relex on my left and ASA/lasik/relex on my right due to high power on the left. so dilemma wat to choose even until now..

I tot ASA got slower vision recovery? Optimax says it takes 2 weeks to actually be able to get rid of the haze, while relex smile 3-4days, lasik the 1-2 days..

oh.. i wish i can do custom laser lasik for both eyes >< maybe i can do custom laser lasik on 1 and relex smile another.. i cant do follow up 2 weeks later if i opt for ASA.. cos tat time i going outstation..

how about the 5 days follow up? can i remove the contact lens earlier? cos i leaving kl earlier as i plan to do relex smile ><

do u think if i go for ASA, can i see anything after the surgery? or i will be like blind for few days tat i might need assistance to go somewhere else? it's weird becos relex smile advantages is less cornea tissue removed, thus less nerve removed, so u will have lesser dry eye problem.. but seems like more ppl getting dry eyes for relex smile..

yeah the doctor say if u go for optometrist, the reading will be big difference, then u will feel scared doctor say my eyes looks good in terms of cornea condition after relex smile and the power.. just need more time to settle down and need more rest, ask me don too look near to the screen.

Still not super clear, still kinda glaring, foggy hazy i think no more.. But clarity isnt there. Doctor say it takes time. At least 3 months to 6 months to fully stabilized then if still unsatisfied then only discuss about enhancement. But doctor say my cornea is good and power is good. He ask me to be patience and dont worry. Mine just 2nd week only.. So i looking forward to better visual soon.

i have done my annual checkup at optimax. the result is my left eye has -0.25 myopia which is actually and improvement. my right eye still have astig and myopia residual power left, but actually improved too. Kinda glad about it, just tat sometimes the eyes is too dry and the opto there recommend me to use systane ultra. shud i buy more vial one, or the 5ml one is ok actually? becos i found the non perservative one too expensive for daily usage.. The opto only say if use more than 10drops daily will irritate eyes. I dont think i use more than 10drops, probably 1-3 drops in the morning and 1-2 in the afternoon and 1 drop before sleep.

That is quite true, i did relex smile too, but i still have residual power for astig.. maybe my power is quite higher, 800 myopia and 100+ asti each eyes before Ops

Mine i can see properly for far but not near cos maybe eyes need adjust. But now if i watch phone too long, then watch far need sometime to adjust.
