Hi All,

Just did my ReLex Smile on Wednesday. I could see 50% right after the surgery but still hazy. I was surprised that my vision is 90% clear on the second day. I have to say the surgery is scary but Dr Stephen is very good and it last for only 15-minutes even though my eyes keep on moving (stupid eyes wouldn't listen to me).

Not doing marketing for Optimax but it's the only company offering ReLex Smile surgery. RM11.5k is worth for perfect vision and recovery takes only 1-3 days. Best part is I could wash my face and do not have to sleep with "Ultraman's google". If you have credit card of MayBank, AmBank or PublicBank, you may go for 24-months instalment.

Should you require further clarification, please do not hesitate to leave a message here thou 

Thank you.

It's expensive but almost no risk (possibility of infected & inflammation). I am working adults and time worth more to me. You have a pair of eyes only. Why don't give it the best huh? Cheers.

I agreed with most of your comments. It's my opinion that I have one pair of eyes and it's not replaceable. Therefore, I don't mind spending on it. It's latest technology which was introduced on late August 2013. Chinese saying, "good thing no cheap, cheap thing no good". It's not that blade type is bad but I think that time can't be bought. However, it's strongly advisable to choose according to your budgets.

Hope these comments could help those who are still considering...   

I just went to Optimax TTDI again yesterday. I understand your feeling now. My sis was offered ASA only. Type of surgery offered depending on the condition of your eyes. So sorry about my comment earlier. Hope your surgery went well and fast recovery 

I have done my relex smile on the December 10th, after almost a month, my vision still about 80%, Now i am looking at the laptop and the words are appearing blurish still, i am kind of worried and i have paid 11.5k for this???  how long does it take to recover or forever like this? i am in oversea for biz trip now so i am kinda worried and only be back on the 3rd week of jan. i should have go for normal lasik.... anyone has similar experience like me?

Hi Ozak, and Jialat,

I had my first check up the next day, doctor stephen said recover is good. and one week later i check up again but only with the lady consultant, she told me it was recovery ok, but i did complaint to her i still see thing blurish, she said its normal, she said some people takes 3 weeks to heal.

but now is already fourth week after operation. what is wrong??? and today and tomorrow they are closed for business. i cannot reach them.

If they told me in advance the relex smile will take this long time to heal, i would not consider doing this. they actually push me to do relex smile although i want to do the custom all lasik.  vista actually said I can do custom all lasik but i dont know why optimax insists me do the relex smile, maybe they can make more money of that? for me, money is not matter thats why i go for relex smile which i thought is safer and better technology, now i am totally regret. should just go for custom lasik only. and if your statement is correct they will treat my eyes again, i hope too, because with this vision i am hardly can concentrate working. and i noticed far vision also not so good but still acceptable.

If already done lasik then use pc regulary the bluriness will come back?

I did my LASIK a week back at Advance Vision. my power is about 600 n 500 each eye. Post surgery I can see things but it was blur. Went home and slept the whole day. Next day it does not hurt but itch a bit. i can see far items good but for near items it is a bit blur.

For computer and handphone i can still read but will have blur/foggy feel. when I look on further things, it is perfect... Does this heal? around how long will it take??

almost one year since i done my relex smile, still blur/foggy looking at computer, and nothing to compare to the original eye sight. i would not recommend people to do relex smile instead, go for lasik is better as my 2 sisters done lasik and seems no complaint. went back to check up and the people will just telling you you recovered well and cannot find out the causes. guess this is it, just live with it with this vision. nothing can be turn back.

Hi all

I have been reading this thread and also did some research on this topic. I am planning to go for some sort of surgery to correct my eyesight. My nearsighted power is L-450 and R-600. I am 55 year old and presbyopia already kicks in 5 years ago. I work with computers a lot and lead a active lifestyle, running, cycling , swimming and photography. What is the recommended surgery for me?

I went to have a check up at Optimax TTDI, and the doctor request me to try mono vision with contact lens first before correcting it with laser because after correcting it will be no turning back.

Also, I planned to do my surgery in the morning and take a nap afterwards, is it possible for me to go to the airport to send my relative off at night?

I did relex smile March last year on my LE, RE did ASA. vision now post RELEX is not as good as the eye post ASA. Everymorning  the RELEX eye is blur, but somehow improve towards end of the day, ASA eye is clear. I personally regret choosing RELEX smile. I was not able to do FEMTO as cornea thin.

I was thinking to do lasic also...
But, however, the eyesight will continue to deteriorate after age of 40...
Therefore, there is still a need to wear spectacles...

For those who never wear spectacles, its much easier for prevention rather than trying to cure...

It's good to wear spec lesser...I'm more on natural vision improvement...does not really help actually...
But, it is good to prevent the eyesight from worsen further...

I damaged my eyesight due to reading under poor lighting...

At certain age...people will tend to develop hyperopia...which required reading glass for reading. The eyesight will stabilize, but however, if bad habits still continues (straining, reading under poor lighting,using PC for long hours)... the eyesight will surely worsen back...

Going without glasses does help to improve eyesight. The problems is people usually strain to see rather than accept what they see.

agreed with above statement.

My personal experience
Going thru so much hassle after lasik , life become miserable instead of improving......
Worse thing is if your surgeon is ...unethical ,irresponsible doctor..and the optometrist too.
Lousy service after surgery.Not telling you the true condition of your eye , why you having double vision , blur vision , affect normal stability of your cornea...

Risk(not due to complication)  after lasik surgery that you really have to consider carefully.
