QUOTE(J_Vansen_S @ May 30 2013, 10:11 PM) Update! u did it all in one day? no pre check up(suitability for lasik) done earlier?Did my IntraLASIK Tuesday at OPTIMAX TDDI 1pm checkup etc 3:30pm Lasik Treament By 4:30pm im out of Optimax Experience: 3sec right eye, 11sec left eye, no pain at all. Did not even realized it was over. However the next 4-6hours: pretty bad for me. Crying eye, stingy eye,, Nose block +headache. Just exactly like crying the whole nite. The next morning wow, i can see KLCC twin tower from my hotel room! My point of view regarding OPTIMAX: service could be better, i was left to wait for 1hr before checkup, after checkup waitied another hour. Thye are all too very very very busy. Too many customers. Everything has to be done in a rush IMHO. My 2nd day after lasik. My right eye = perfect vision. However my left eye, i feel im still having 50-100degree. Not as clear as my right eye. Is that normal? Btw cost is 4000rm per eye, with Darren's referral get rm500 off. Thanks JialAt! Total i paid rm7675. Inclusive of eye examination fee i & wife have yet to do mine. received the referal letter fr jialat too. waiting for the proper time. most prob my wife will do it in 3 weeks time and me later on. one person needs to drive... so the time gap.... is the eye very sensitive to light after surgery? they dont give free shades ride ? have yet to go shopping for sunglasses.... |

QUOTE(J_Vansen_S @ May 31 2013, 06:58 PM) Yea, since im from brunei. Yup did it all in one day. icThe pre eye examination was done at 1pm. Give & take 1-2hrs, then lasik at 3+pm. The idea was: if my cornea arent suitable after the eye examination then ili abort the plan. Lucky I was good to go  Not really sensitive though, just use a sunglass right after. No free shades; maybe there is, but they r all too busy as i said. thanks for the update. must plan mine all done the same day too... less thinking then. |

Need to go 4 the eye examination (3 hrs) first and schedule the lasik on another day. Planning to do the eye test sometimes in 2 weeks. Then the lasik. According to the person there, after the eye test still can drive. Anyone can confirm this? What about after the lasik? |

QUOTE(jialat @ Jul 19 2013, 03:24 PM) Full eye examination is available in optimax klang, you save rm 20 with my referral letter, cheaper than their in house promotion eye check price. buying sunglasses is another headache pls provide details if u need, pm me. thanks yes, you can try Lee Eye Center if you want lasik in Ipoh, they have the best machine there.  never wore one except clip onsanyway was going around looking for some and realised got 2 options... one is polarized and another is uv protection major branded ones dont have polarized. But the cheaper range has it. Pretty funny which one to use after lasik? need polarised lenses? |

i was looking for some the other day my wife likes the coach sunglasses but the shop said coach does not come with polarized lense. They said designer sunglasses only have uv block. only got in brands like sub, arinko (i think) and cyber ... i am not familiar with this brands so did not get it. btw how long r we suppose to wear the sunglasses after lasik. is it advisable to keep wearing it? can not wear it afters ay 2-3 months? or better to wear? i have never worn outdoor and not used to it... only use clip on for highway driving. |

jialat,
at last got my eye examination done my power is pretty low 200 and 175 after dilation it is 100 and 75 why is there a huge difference or is it normal? the test was done by the optometrist and is now awaiting the doctors review on the report this tuesday. the dr is not there on saturdays. will optimax give me the report on the eye test? acc, to the optometrist, i am suitable with good corner thickness. Its just that the power suitability since there is a huge difference of power before n after dilation. (if i remember correctly) if all is ok, will get the correction done asap. no more waiting  as for my wife, her power is lower, 50 and 100 after dilation, 25 and 75 ...i think... anyway, they recommended only one eye to be done instead of both., the higher power one of course. so would the vision be clear by doing one eye only? will be doing a lot of travelling and water activities so we need clear vision!  |

optimax called me this morning to schedule another eye test. i went there just now for the check up and was also advised by the dr.
it seems i have been using an over prescribed lenses....a higher power than my actual power there were 2 options given to me, which i chose the 2nd... to use the new lower prescribe lenses for a month or 2 to see if i can see well and get used to it. something to do with the eye muscles since i have been wearing glasses for ages...+ over prescribed lenses... so now i have to get a new pair of glasses or lenses fitted... the power is pretty much lower.... if it is fine, then i can proceed with the lasik i wonder how come the opticians at the specs shop over prescribed my power? or is it a common practice? btw, how much is the cheapest lenses i can get since it is just for a trial use? my power is 150 R and 125 L as given by the dr.
