QUOTE(lasikman @ Aug 19 2009, 11:06 PM) Hi. Just thought some of you who are still looking around may be interested in a new eye centre in Midvalley KL (International Specialist Eye Centre or ISEC, www.isecmalaysia.com ) which is offering good value for money LASIK procedures, without all the confusing up-selling "packages" ... Had a chat with one of their rather helpful staff at the recent Maybank Treats Fair in Midvalley. Think they offer free preliminary basic LASIK check ups. They also have quite a few eye docs there so you can choose your preferred laser surgeon..! Hi All, I am new here. Just wanted to share my personal experience with Dr Wong Jun Shyan at ISEC. Went there for my Pre Lasik Assessment and was diagnosed with thin corneas. I was told that if regression happens I will not be able to have further enhancement. In short if my prescription come back I will still need to wear glasses. Upon hearing the bad news I started asking questions about the odds of getting regression and if regression happens what are the power. The doc was very unfriendly, impatient and always only give me a 3 - 4 words answer and followed by "any other question" everytime aft he answered. He doesn't even look at me when he is replying. He is the kind of doc that did not show a slightest hint of concern for the patient and all he is interested in is the money and getting me out of the room as soon as possible. Well at least this is the impression he gave me. He as the doc should be furnishing me with all the information and not me trying to press for details. This is a basic right for a patient. I asked "what do you think? Should I proceed with the surgery since I have thin corneas and I don't like the idea of wearing glasses again after the surgery. Do you think it is advisable?". Without a hesitation, he said "of course, just schedule your op with the nurse. Any other other question?" Dr Wong is notorious for his bad bedside manner (3 friends of mine have encounters with him and 1 got his surgery done there and 2 left because of his stinky attitude!) Even after all the bad stuff I heard about him I still proceeded to see him because he is technically good. I thought I could ignore the attitude part but he push it too far. I went to see a different doc in SG for a 2nd opinion and my experience with this doctor is a lot more pleasant. He took his time to address my concerns and explained to me that even with my thin corneas I should achieve good result with intralase flaps. Dr Wong never explained to me about anything. I don't even know what technology or machine he will using on me. The 2nd doc kindly offer to write a note to Dr Wong as all the medical terms are beyond my comprehension and advised me to have my op done back in Msia because of the price difference. I was a lot more relief and have more understanding and knowledge of the options I have after seeing the 2nd doc. I wrote to Dr Wong to schedule for my op, asked if there's any thing I should prepare prior to my op and attached the letter from the SG doctor. Received a 1 line reply saying "There is no additional prep" from Dr Wong. No comment on the letter at all. Still I booked my trip back to KL and went for the op only to found out at the waiting room that ISEC do not have the Intralase facility and they only do Microkeratome!!!!!! This is totally unacceptable. He could at least let me know that they do not do Intralase! I would be such an idiot if I go anywhere near him ever again!

QUOTE(Owweichieh91 @ Apr 29 2013, 11:26 AM) eye sight around 800 can do laser Yes, i think is possible. There are different technologies for different prescription. My power is -7.00 both eyes and got thin corneas best treatment for me is Intralase. Make sure you consult your doctor for all the available methods. I know they are some docs out there that will just recommend you to a certain method because that's the only facility they have in their clinic or centre. I personally experienced that with ISEC with Dr JS Wong. So be careful and do your research.

You will need to go through the pre-lasik assessment to check and make sure that your eyes are in a healthy conditions before they can recommend the most suited treatment for you. If your eyes have no problems is basically down to your personal preference on the type treatment.
