Did mine about 2 weeks ago.
Fully customized, even though my cornea thickness is normal

last check,
left eye -.25
right eye -.25

prior to surgery
left eye -5.5
right eye -7

still a little bit of glare at night with bright lights.. but other than that, no problem !

i think it was RM60 for the first eye check. Then if it seems suitable you need to go about 2 weeks or so without your contact lens and have a second eye check (can't remember how much, through)

I opted for fully customised, so a little bit more expensive. . about 7.8k for both eyes. I think the cheaper option is about 3k per eye. But what I liked about it was that the post op/after care/eye drops etc is free for 1 year and they provide an after hours emergency phone number if you need to call. You can opt to pay in interest free instalment.

A bit expensive, but I consider it fully worth it .. cos before this when i wake up in the morning without my specs i am blind !!!! If I travel and rub my eye, contact fall out, also blind !
And consider over the past 10 years, the amount I have paid for glasses/contact lens/solution .....

haha ... same for me.. i run and swim, so it really sucks when cannot see.
if you're genuinely interested there is no harm with just going for the initial assessment and talking to the doc.. don't have to make the decision straight away

After lasik, how long need to wait b4 can run & swim again. Need to know coz I run a lot. thks.

1 month before can swim/sauna/steam room
they told me to avoid contact sports for 1 week..
for running i think it should be okay to go once your eyes are comfortable, just wear a headband or something to keep the sweat from going into your eyes.
By middle of week 1 i was back in yoga.

3 weeks post surgery
left eye: 0
right eye: astig .25

eye dryness is much much better, not dependent on eye drops anymore
