Can anyone explain why if i opt to go for FEMTOLasik surgery i would need to get myself to do a COVID-19 test while if i opt for RelexSmile surgery, i don't have to get myself to do a COVID-19 test. This is very confusing and the consultant from Optimax is unable to give me a very strong explanation. I feel that they are just pushing for RelexSmile. Does this even make sense???

Hi, I just had my consultation and eye check few days back. I had a great and clear explanation from the optometrist named Izwan at Shah Alam Optimax who gave me clear picture of the procedure, as well as Dr Zai the ophtalmologist. With regard to Covid screening, RelexSmile only makes a small incision thus categorized under low risk Aerosol Generating Procedure compared to FEMTOLasik or Custom ASA, both the latter takes a longer time and produce more aerosol which pose risk for the surgeon compared to RelexSmile, thus justifying the Covid test. If it was to me, I wouldn’t go for anything less than RelexSmile, it’s the best procedure with the least corneal incision size and least risk for debilitating dryness. I haven’t decide the date yet but insya Allah will go for it within this next 3 months.
